why do you think pedestrian and cycling activists are so angry all the time? we just kinda get murdered out there at a much higher rate that most other developed countries. I personally know 3 people killed by drivers - speeding/distracted or both
This shit is on Wikipedia.
If you aren't aware that the US has a higher death rate from traffic accidents than comparable countries, you really shouldn't be arguing this point.
The US has a 1.5x higher fatality rate than Canada on a per km traveled basis.
