The official USA road fatality figures are closer to 40,000 nowadays, but that's still a lot of people, isn't it?
The official number of road deaths per year in the UK is only about 3000. Even if you consider the population differences between the two countries, you are still more likely to die driving in the USA than in the UK. That suprises me since our roads are so much more congested, but then maybe it's because we're too busy sitting in traffic jams to have as many crashes.
How high were road deaths in the US in the 50s and 60s? Everyone says cars were too powerful and not safe enough back then, so road casualities were astronomical, although there were probably less cars on the road.
