In reply to (Doesn't seem like were doing something wrong?)!
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?
