WAIT... WAT???

whoever is the statistician at MSN should be shot...

80 percent of the people are between 18 and 30

and 63 percent of the people are between 18 and 25?

soooo the point of this stat is that 17 percent of them were between 25 and 30?

lol 17%? are you retarded?

80% are aged between 18 and 30...

of that 80%, 63% are between 18 and 25 and 37% are between 25 and 30

ambiguity FTW. I read it as 80% are between 18 and 30 and 63% are between 18 and 25, so 80 - 63 = 17.

Actual article quote: "Around 80 per cent of drivers caught are aged 18-30 and 63 per cent are 25 and under."

Whilst the article doesn't clarify it very well I'm sure funkymonkey is correct. The above quote does not contain an "of that" reference, so the 63 per cent is meant to be taken from the overall drivers caught instead. The 63 per cent statistic would be somewhat unnecessary/uninteresting if they were quoting that 63 per cent of 18-30 were 25 and under, as this is somewhat normal under any curve of distribution (7 of 12 years = about 60 per cent).
