Indeed.
125 people are killed every single day on the road in the US. No matter how you slice it, the US is an outlier compared to developed countries. [1]
Per capita the US sees 12.9 fatalities per 100,000, worse than Chile and Mexico. More than twice the death rate of Canada (5.8)
Per 100,000 motor vehicle per year the US sees 16.1 fatalities, comparable to Bulgaria and Lithuania, almost double the death rate of Canada (8.9)
Per 1 billion vehicle kilometres driven, it's 8.3 fatalities. That's not quite double Canada's rate of 5.1, but still much higher than other developed countries
The US is a very dangerous country in terms of vehicles compared to developed countries.
