German drivers better than American drivers.
If you feel better in fewer deaths, I would support the clear answer is yes, there are many causes, but I believe that the issues of regulation and training are the most important would be good to include other accidents such as traffic accidents, accidents with injuries and accidents with serious injuries, but I have no doubt that would follow the clear trends seen below.
The leader of the important road safety including the United States have since the 1960s have decreased significantly in 2002, with the US improvement percentages behind in 16th place behind those of Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Great Britain, Iceland, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland in terms of deaths per thousand vehicles, while in terms of deaths per 100 million miles traveled, the United States had dropped from first to tenth place.
The table below summarizes the statistics of fatal accidents in several flavors since 1995 in all the years and in all cases, except for two German figures are below US figures The exceptions are the oldest data in the range examined websites and documents that I used to generate the table are either attached or referenced below.
Missing data was not available in bold figures used read from graphs and therefore are not official, nor precise and probably involve several percent of visual interpolation error.
I hate when people stuff like this statistic, if you are well informed, you would know that statistic doesn t mean anything.
First, assuming that this statistic reflects the fact that the population of the United States is Germany with only 300k vs 80k, there is still the factor of age old young legal conduct, how many people in the country actually has a car, average number of people in a car at one time, time, time of year, migrating birds, which way the wind blows, how much wood can a woodchuck chuck etc.
Anyway, even though I'm American agreement is generally bad to drive, I still believe that this statistic is zero.
Yes, who needs statistics, the knowledge base and decision making in complex situations with a large number of events involved.
Despite your level of education that you can extract many conclusions from these statistics.
Don t say M instead of k The population of the United States is approximately 300M.
If you have not noticed these statistics in terms of dividing by the population, miles of motor vehicle, etc. Such appropriate use of statistics cancels the effect of the difference in population Most other possible confounding effects you mention almost certainly get equalized on the average so long 1 year at a time and on average in a country.
Maybe you should read better statistics and study the terrain a little before being quick to respond to unfounded criticism.

Wow, that's so ignorant Didn t you look even numbers These numbers are divided by population, so that the report makes irrelevant the total population and how the migration of birds have nothing to do with it.
These statistics are interesting marsh Like most have said, the training of drivers in the States is a joke I'll go with Blake and save me anxiety too, because after living in Germany for two years, when I really think about it, the uS system is so pathetic, it makes me crazy we could be so much better there are no standards and no application, I doubt it will ever change.

It boils down to the bottom of a thing freedom and responsibility You might say that we enjoy much more freedom regarding the conduct namely age, training, regulations, fees, etc. With this freedom comes responsbility to accept the consequences of our system, very unfortunately, is measured in the loss of lives.
Wow, I guess people here are quite serious, I think my joke migratory bird was not really good cause seemed to laugh as I thought it was another discussion without enthusiasm about things in general, but apparently I wrong, if it will be serious question, I would mention this statistic seriously.
First thing first, I noticed that the one who made this table has split the total population at the end, where the part where I wrote first, assuming this statistic reflects the fact that the population of the United States is Germany with only 300k vs 80k forgiveness part K, M I mean, this statement meant that I have assumed that this statistic was normalized by population, I know, I know my English is a little confusing.
The second thing is, I do not think that statistic is a good indicator of American drivers, why Well, he's taking the number of accidents and divide the total population What people that doesn t drive this raises an interesting question, how many people in Germany allowed and how many people in the United States has a license to this one will have a big impact on the statistics not to mention a host of different things I doubt the statistics took into account such as the distribution of the age and condition of roads yeah road condition is a factor because; largest country, more infrastructure, more road to keep the miles of road against the population is an important factor in the ability of a country to road maintenance, etc.
Anyway, now that I know that this forum is a serious matter, I'll know to bring my attitude joking again, sorry for the confusion guys, hope my 2cents opens more productive discussion, not bias .

This is exactly one of the problems are not all stupid in Germany or the EU driving license because their system is better and harder There's nothing wrong with more people drive statistics in this country and unless they should not change some laws.

Grand One point quite valid finally my comments.
1 I tried to get statistics for the number of drivers holding a license in each country, it is difficult to obtain for Germany without knowing German, he is also very difficult to achieve this year a year in a country it would certainly be good to have this issue and provide another statistic, it certainly would not invalidate the other statistics that 2 is a mitigating factor the lack of information above includes the observation that in most 1 countries world a very large percentage of those above the minimum age limit does not actually have a license driver 3 I would bet that US rates still do not match the German rates with additional statistics.
Not to mention a host of different things that I doubt the statistics took into account such as the distribution of the age and condition of the road so road conditions is a factor because; largest country, more infrastructure, more road to keep the miles of road against the population is an important factor in the ability of a country to road maintenance, etc.
Age distribution is taken into account approximately, except for the small minimum driving age difference The reason is that all those miles put on a car are included Of course, if one age distribution was strongly skewed to the very young and very old drivers it would certainly do their worst figures, but it would still be the reality in this country and driving is more dangerous overall it because of this, you can assign some of the differences allowing younger drivers here for a license and allowing people to drive more two that would sow their stats This new worst explains some of the existing statistics, it does not cancel.
Road conditions are also advantageous to pretend But I also know that your own road conditions is your security responsibility when the police report was filed never gets to blame the road, there is a fault driver or other occasionally blame mixture secondly, much of Germany gets snow and ice compared to the US This should in principle their worst figures - but they are even better.

The real reason I've noticed is these immigrants who come here and act like ass whipes they all hate when people judge the Americans when it really all immigrants who gives us a bad name.
The main reason for German deaths is less they drive safer cars.
They do not drive Camry s or impalas They are driving cars that excel in avoidance and crash safety.
A good driver does not exist without a good car statistics can be presented in a way that does not take into account the facts really For example, I could say Texas has the worst drivers simply knowing they buy most trucks and SUVs that have a very poor handling and winters have black ice on the roads.

This is very true America was founded on freedom of Travel Not having to show papers to move to another state, with a spirit of avant-garde to be constantly in motion This is something that many Europeans not ever gift deal is such sad that we lost a lot of that spirit of pioneering and given many of our freedoms in the name of a false sense of security, of course, many citizens have also abdicated most of their responsibility, as well, and don t take responsibility for their own actions I'd really like to see less regulation and more freedom in terms of driving, but also the consequences more not having to take responsibility and not to be the best driver you can be.
And yes, we still have half our deaths Alchohol.
The main reason for German deaths is less they drive safer cars.

My Horseshit 1962 Ford Falcon was more than 40 years and has never been in an accident, so apparently it was more than enough to survive safely for decades on the road, including modern roads around modern cars modern speeds.
I've never dropped a car and I had SUVS, old microphones dangerous cars and cars that were designed to handle n, and the cars that were I had a lot of trophies SCCA, and some are came in cars crap you call a good driver is their SEPARATE car doen t need a good car to be good in fact, I would assume that if a driver needs a good car to be good, they aren t all that good at all.
Add to that all the good cars that collapsed and had death, and I would say that your theory is all wrong otherwise of no fatal accidents in sports cars and exotics.
The real reason I've noticed is these immigrants who come here and act like ass whipes they all hate when people judge the Americans when it really all immigrants who gives us a bad name.
Uh, how do you America was founded was by a group of immigrants, so I do not think this is the appropriate term here that I think tell you is that America has low standards of conduct, and foreign non-US citizens arriving in the country and are given the license despite poor driving abilities of the question isn t really the skills migrants is the fact that the US drive system fails to actually teach drivers to drive; instead, it delivers them a license if they can pay 70 dollars a written test in the language of their choice and manage not to crash during a 10-minute driving test.

I disagree While many Germans lead security car there as well as don t Firstly, it is difficult to judge what is safe and what is not safe to say that trucks and SUVs are unsafe is a pretty sloppy generalization in addition, the same Merc just for the sake of argument that could be considered safe 65 mph on a highway in the States, is considered dangerous when traveling in Germany 140 mph on the highway the point is that safe and dangerous terms are related.
I think there is much more low relationship between death and the skill of the driver that there is between low deaths and vehicle safety accident prevention and safety are primarily the skills of the driver, not the skills of the vehicle as well, know and understand the laws of the road is very important that I think all of us who have never lived in the States know poor the average American driver when put to the test in some of these categories.
