Source 1 deals only with accidents vs pedestrian. There are many more crashes with fatal result than just with pedestrians. The numbers are comparable to flu - mind you the influenza statistic counts complications. Most importantly, you have to look at the age structure. Influenza currently takes people in old age. Vehicular accidents are the top cause of death of young people, meaning they're much more impactful in disability adjusted years, which is the real useful measure here, not death count. It's easy to fall prey to Lake Wobegon effect - everyone thinks they are above average and deserve more. Paying 20 minutes daily despite reducing crashes by two orders of magnitude saving average 3 hours of life will be obviously rejected for that reason. Accidents here are generally caused by people ignoring the limits and law anyway, so this measure is unlikely to fix anything unless it causes congestion.
