Curiously, by that metric, the US lies between Singapore and Hong Kong. Which is strange, since car ownership is rare in both those countries and neither are really known to be hotbeds of reckless driving.
- woodruffw 3y agoI think Hong Kong does have a reputation for unsafe roads, it just doesn't make it to us[1]. But Singapore is a surprise to me. (That's for net car ownership. For per capita, the US's immediate peers are Bangladesh, Uruguay, Egypt, and Moldova.)
