Here's the U.S. death rate from road accidents compared to some other large, spread-out countries. We're not doing so hot.pic.twitter.com/DtP7PBYblr
Looking forward to all the political commentators claiming one of the transportation secretaries is a monster for committing/allowing genocide.
Especially as the pollution from cars is contributes significantly to cardiovascular problems and lung/respiratory ones!
it's mostly an artifact of how much driving we do (and the fact that we don't require manufacturers to put breathalyzer interlocks in all cars). ~1 fatality per 100MM VMT is pretty safe!
In Spain the most prominent is suicide (we manage to lower the road death quite a bit)
If humanity was any good at risk assessment, there'd be nuclear power plants everywhere instead of fossil fuel plants, and they'd all power mass transit. But our mammalian brains are just not built for distinguishing between hazard and risk.
Is there a version of this to see the changes over time?
My brother became disabled because he wandered into the street as an infant (dad took his eyes off us for a few mins, brother wandered out and through wall section next to our house that hadn’t been closed yet).
Girl driving was speeding but just a little bit, took her eyes off the road just a bit. Wasn’t time of war, poverty, famine, or even drunken driving. Just a string of slight oversights, less-than-ideal habits, any each of which happen all the time everywhere by themselves.
