I think it is of no coincidence that as cars are getting safer more people are losing there life's on the roads, OK there is always going to be an increase in road users, but I think proportionally I am correct in saying it is rising.
way off. the good old days were 13 times more deadly.
"In 1950, the fatal accident rate was about 95 deaths per billion vehicle km and in 2000 it was 7.3 deaths per billion vehicle km. The roads got 13 times safer over 50 years."

these days you have a much better chance of avoiding having an accident in the first place and also a much better chance of survival when you do crash. hooray for progress.
