Safe driving

In 1990 there were many more killed in auto accidents than in 2015. Here is a list of the deaths per billion vehicle miles traveled that year:

France      25.7
Israel        22.4
Germany   19.7
Australia    14.7
Canada      14.5
U.S.           12.9
Sweden      12

Now look at the results for 2015:

France         5.9
Israel           5.9
Germany      4.6
Australia       4.9
Canada        5.1
U.S.             7

Where we were the second safest country in 1990, we were the worst in 2015.
