I didn't have time to check when I wrote this comment, but looking now, the US rate looks like it's usually more than double that of major developed peers, and in some cases more than 3x as high.
Fatalities per 100k inhabitants:
South Korea - 5.3
Japan - 2.1
Italy - 5.2
UK - 2.9
Germany - 3.7
France - 5.0
Canada - 5.3
# USA - 12.9
The US actually does about the same as Mexico (12.8) despite being enormously richer and generally more developed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic...
