- lingben 13y agoyou answered yourself, the decline is in fatalities per capita
- Someone 13y agoIt also is in absolute number of fatalities, since 2002, except for 2005.
- sp332 13y agoFatalities from automobile accidents have plummeted, to the point that suicide is now a more-frequent cause of death for men age 25-34. Note that suicides are down too, but car deaths are down even more sharply.
- Zigurd 13y agoCars used to be death traps. Now even the lowest cost cars have decent survivability.
- revelation 13y agoNo idea, what does it have to do with the question at hand here? Maybe car turnover (switching to safer cars) acts stronger than flawed government policy.
