While these cities might make cars less common per head of population, there are still cars. So if you cross a road you could still end up in the same scenario couldn’t you?
The US has a wicked combo of big vehicles, high healthcare costs and insurance options which don’t cover expenses.
As a contrast, I’m in New Zealand where you don’t have to purchase insurance, but healthcare will be paid for by the state.

If there are less accidents then the insurance companies need less money to cover them and so the cost of insurance doesn't need to go up as this article suggests. The article's solution to too many accidents is to raise rates but another solution is less accidents.
