@dymaxion @OrionFed @kim_harding indeed, as a non-motorist, I am more interested in my chance of being killed by one than I am in the relative safety of driving.
@hans @kim_harding @OrionFed @dymaxion and regarding the earlier suggestion that most Europeans travel by train, that is a gross misrepresentation of the truth. The USA has a major problem, as it is the ONLY country on the planet which has rising numbers of pedestrian deaths. This is due principally to the move towards increasingly larger “SUV” vehicles with increasingly poor visibility.
@peterbrown doesn’t Canada have very similar stats for vehicle size but far less of a rise in fatalities?
