There are no speed limits on German motorways yet the death and accident rate is not higher that in their neighbours' countries. Go figure.

The statistic here isn't accidents. It's fatalities in accidents at X speed. Germans aren't driving cars that are any safer than the rest of Europe. If they get into an accident at 70mph or higher then their chance of death is also sharply increased.

The big difference between German roads and American ones is Germans can generally opt out by taking a train. Americans cannot.

Are you a little bit slow? You surely must grasp the concept that for it to be a fatality, an accident must happen first?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

So it doesn't matter that the accidents that do happen are more deadly? As long as there are less over all?

Why can't we have less accidents and less death?

So, are you a little bit slow?
