OG 11 - CR - Q81

Poornima wrote:A recent report determined that although only 3 percent of drivers on Maryland highways equipped their vehicles with radar detectors, 33 percent of all vehicles ticketed for exceeding the speed limit were equipped with them. Clearly, drivers who equip their vehicles with radar detectors are more likely to exceed the speed limit regularly than are drivers who do not.

The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions?

A)
B)Drivers who are ticketed for exceeding the speed limit are more likely to exceed the speed limit regularly than are drivers who are not ticketed.
C)
D)Many of the vehicles that were ticketed for exceeding the speed limit were ticketed more than once in the time period covered by the report
E)

I am unable to choose between B and D. The answer is B but I am not convinced. Can someone please help?

if we try to apply negation on B, it probably doesn't work or becomes too abstract to understand and check if the conclusion falls apart.

So the takeaway should be that, we shouldn't always apply negation?
