Mortality caused by road traffic injury by country. Deep red represents 77 accidents per 100,000 population. Light green represents less than 10 accidents per 100,000 population.
Great post over at ‘How We Drive‘ about this interesting graphic.
Current World mortality caused by road traffic injury: 20.95 per 100,000 population.
And there’s another way to think about the statistics on a per 100,000 level; one might read the low per population rate in a country like Denmark not simply as the result of it being a small country, and hence fewer miles to traverse, but that people there simply don’t have to drive as much. Exposure, after all, is one ‘five Es” of traffic safety, along with education, enforcement, engineering, emergency response.
Seems like a trend among the oil-rich countries of the world.
