Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

New Jersey is too low. Serious doubts about the validity of this table.

I'd like to see the % of trucks vs cars for each location.

Not surprised by SC, as a Canadian I had one accident in 40 years of driving, it was in SC, caused by a 17yo girl driving an old suburban or something.

How the heck are Victorians down the bottom? Is it just the sheer size of our population keeping that number in check...?

If you can survive hook turns you can survive anything.

Also less country for country driving

I'm guessing gun violence is much the same.

It's around 2.5 per 100 000 in Norway.

The thing that surprised me most after moving to Oregon was how bad the drivers were. I've lived in many states across the South, the Midwest, and West Coast and I've never encountered drivers so consistently vindictive, entitled and reckless as the drivers in Oregon.

I assume this includes pedestrians and cyclist deaths? It's by population rather than by "car" or "km driven" but I'd like to see a per county breakdown.

Is it the issue of safety standards?

[–] ClanOfTheOcho@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm guessing there is some correlation to total miles(/km) driven. Not all of it, but some. If people in one location drive drastically less distance annually, I'd expect their numbers to show drastically lower on the chart, as well.

I am not convinced with Australia and Canada being much better? It would make sense if you were comparing to Europe.

. . . Huh. Here in Vic every year we get targeted with so many ads being like 'worse year ever for road deaths, drive safe, etc'
