| Yes, it is a little confusing. In reality, this rate is the number of deaths per 100,000 people, not per 100,000 deaths. I confirmed this by finding the actual figures at Nation Master. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_mot_veh_dea-health-motor-vehicle-deaths Given all that, the figures in the quiz and at Nation Master seem to be flawed. It appears that these rates are only for developed/more advanced countries. There are appoximately 125 countries with an traffic-related death rate worse than the United States. For example, Eritrea has an traffic-related death rate of 48.4 deaths per 100,000 people. Egypt, 42.0. Afghanistan, 39.0. Iraq, 38.1. United Arab Emirates,
37.1. South Africa, 33.2. Pakistan, 25.3. Malaysia, 24.1. Peru,
21.5. Mexico, 20.7. Brazil, 19.9. Russia, 18.5. Indonesia, 16.2. |
