Curious Xmas Statistics | Monday, December 24, 2007 |
One of the things that I've found strange here is the obsession with the holiday period 'road toll'.
I can't speak for the rest of the country, and this is a broad statement, but the standard of driving here is quite poor compared to the UK. I'm not sure if it's cars with bigger engines, narrower roads (in some cases) or something else, but it's often quite startling.
Every year there's a running count of the number of deaths on the road in the various states. It's a bit grim.
