Almost every country in this table [1] in Europe, and almost all developed countries, has fewer road deaths per 100k inhabitants / year than the US. The US is at 12.4 deaths / 100k inhabitants, up there with countries like Belize and Moldova. Germany and Span are at 3.7 deaths, Netherlands at 2 deaths, France at 5, Italy at 5.2, and even _Canada_ at 5.8. Even Canada has half the road deaths / 100k inhabitants as the US. Road deaths in the US are more similar to countries with a fraction of our GDP and development. Let's get near Canada, so maybe even 6 deaths / 100k inhabitants first before we stop the scrutiny on car violence. Those are the goals I'm willing to set.
