- mozumder 10y agoBecause they can afford cars with stronger safety features.
- twinkletwinkle 10y agoThey can also afford cars with stronger danger features, like turbochargers. They also might be more sheltered from the consequences of their actions and likely to be reckless while driving. Your assumption may even be correct, but I don't think it's obvious.
- mozumder 10y agoRich people are also older, and older people have low accident rates. In the end, the accident rate comparison to the global population is completely wrong.
