I’m a bit confused about how they chose which countries to graph.

I’d imagine if instead of per 100000 inhabitants, we used per million kilometers driven, we’d see more comparable numbers across countries. US has far more vehicles per capita than Denmark where I’m living. I’d also imagine people spend longer time in traffic in US.

So I don’t think it’s that driving is more dangerous there, rather it’s that you’re more likely to be in a car at any given time if you’re in USA. If you measured bicycle accidents per 100000 inhabitants probably the stats would be switched for DK/US.

And again, the US ends up with third world countries. Makes you think…

Ah, time for the regular “USA bad” stuff

Fun fact, Nicaragua put a national maximum limit at 30 mph (50 kph) on all their roads, even highways, as a response to road fatalities a few months back. It’s Costa Ricas neighbor and has similar amounts of deaths.

Nice job USA. Special shout-out to Puerto Rico!
