Alot more to worry about than just car crashes you'd think...
I'm assuming those are international numbers? Cause if 380000 people die from starvation this week, we got a serious problem.

Frankly, you cant compare north america to north africa or china.

But good points have been made, their would be an outcry if govt tried to impose anything. I guess i'll just do my part by staying off the roads.
