- alt227 9mo agoIt seems we are talking about different things. The majority of car collisions happen on urban roads where the majority of cars are. The majority of fatal collisions occur on rural roads, where vehicles are travelling faster.

- hydrogen7800 9mo ago> I'd wager most accidents happen where the most people are. Cities. Sure, in absolute numbers. But.. In the US, highest deaths per 100M vehicle miles: 1.79 - Mississippi 1.73 - Arizona 1.72 - South Carolina And the lowest: 0.56 - Massachusetts 0.70 - Minnesota 0.78 - New Jersey Or, highest per 100,000 population: 25 - Mississippi 25 - Wyoming 21 - New Mexico Lowest per 100,000: 4.9 - Massachusetts 5.7 - New York 6.5 - New Jersey Maybe the average MS driver drives 3-5x as many miles as the average MA driver? I doubt it. Something else happening there. https://www.iihs.org/research-areas/fatality-statistics/detail/state-by-state https://www.iihs.org/research-areas/fatality-statistics/deta...
