It would be interesting to know the financial cost of those deaths. Years of tax not paid, medical bills for the maimed etc. It would seem likely to be a massive economic drain, quite apart from the sheer waste. Here in NZ for a road toll of 300, 4000ish serious injuries and 30k minor injuries, the cost was $4.6 billion in 2019. That doesn’t cover lost tax take etc. Reducing that number down is obviously helpful. https://www.transport.govt.nz/about-us/news/social-cost-of-road-crashes-and-injuries-2020-update/ https://www.transport.govt.nz/about-us/news/social-cost-of-r...
