Not necessarily! You indicate that the GERMANS have a less per-captia or per-auto accident rate than the US. Does this reflect the difference in the amount of miles driven by the average driver in each country? I believe not! I believe the average miles a car is used in the US is around 20,000 mile per year. Is this higher or lower in Europe? I believe it is lower! I know many Europeans take advantage of public transporation (i.e. Trains) regularly! It would be interesting if a stat could be provided to reflect the accident rate per miles driven. Wouldn't that be a better stat? John Mac Namara, AT&T Bell Labs, IX
