It's pretty common to compare America and the UK more than America vs Europe, and there are good reasons for that. For example: > Researchers from Virginia Tech and Rutgers University compared the last 28 years of available transportation fatality data from the United States with data from the four countries with the most closely comparable national travel surveys and levels of affluence: Denmark, Germany, Netherlands and the United Kingdom. All four peer nations had reduced per capita pedestrian fatalities by at least 61 percent over the course of the study period — and standout Denmark did so by a whopping 69 percent — but the U.S. reduced ours by just 36 percent. - https://usa.streetsblog.org/2020/10/10/exactly-how-far-u-s-street-safety-has-fallen-behind-europe-in-four-bombshell-charts/ https://usa.streetsblog.org/2020/10/10/exactly-how-far-u-s-s... America had the safest roads in the world fifty years ago - so why not compare to the best, instead of an average that's brought down by some low-wealth countries with terrible historical road safety? Cherry picking or not, it's worth talking about what's going on.
