Having trouble finding a source I feel comfortable citing, but a bunch of people are repeating that in 2001 there were 6 deaths per billion passenger miles on the autobahns versus 8 per billion on the U.S. interstates.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
