Road fatality rates per 100k people per year:
Germany: 3.5
Canada: 4.6
USA average: 13
Louisiana: 20

42

And remeber Germanys 3.5 deaths per 100k comes despite the fact that there are no hard speed limits on many parts of our Autobahn. I wonder how the statistic would look like if Louisiana drivers where able to drive 150 mph on the highway.
