Yeah, agree. Medecine there has caught up in Poland for sure, and it's catching up in Romania and Hungary too. Eastern europe will have road safety issues for a long time though, so i don't see them reaching WE europe LE at birth until like 2050 (as long as WE don't crash its LE by americanizing, which it might do). LE at 60 though should be around the same level soon enough (road safety do impact older people, but not as much as kids and young men)

Road fatalities in Poland and Czechia were 50 per million inhabitants in 2022 according to this report. https://road-safety.transport.ec.europa.eu/document/download/b30e9840-4c22-4056-9dab-0231a98e7356_en?filename=ERSOnext_AnnualReport_20240229.pdf https://road-safety.transport.ec.europa.eu/document/download... This is already less than Italy and only slightly above EU average. I don't think that small number affects much LE though.
