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?

Yes, it would. But the Germans using more public transportation than us
would seem to be them doing something right that we aren't.

TC Wheeler indicates that my stats on driving are out of date. He may be
correct, but my experience indicates otherwise. I'll try and find more
up-to-date figures, and maybe more applicable figures: per passenger
mile, *including* public transportation seems to be the most apropriate
to me.
