>One way to reduce deaths is just get everyone into cars.

A patently absurd claim that holds up to no scrutiny whatsoever. The whole nation of the U.S disproves it, for one.

We have far better roads, vehicle testing and driver training than the US.

  • And do you have a better rate of fatality on the roads?

    • Yes, far lower. The US had approx 40,000 road deaths in 2024, the UK 1,600

      Whether you divide that to get a per vehicle, per capita or a per mile travelled number its far, far lower.
