    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.
