The table in the link [1] you shared, when sorted by deaths per mile driven, ranks the USA (2021 data) 5th in the world, with Mexico (2013 data) being 1st.
- CorrectHorseBat 3y agoYes, but that's only because most countries with horrible numbers don't have any data in that column and end up at the bottom. If you sort by anything else the USA is far far from the worst country.
- ilyt 3y agoIf you look at the numbers and compare it to say Poland or Germany you'd get 2x-4x higher death numbers for any metrics. Also the fact US statistic per mile are so high, despise it being a big country where I'd imagine most miles were highway ones probably hides even higher rate of accidents in cities.
- CorrectHorseBat 3y agoYes, the numbers aren't great, especially if you compare to other developed countries. The claim was most pedestrians killed per mile driven of any country, and that's simply ridiculous.
