The UK is the 4th, 5th or 3rd safest country in the world for road fatalities, depending which metric you prefer (per capita, per vehicle, by distance driven).

Maybe you aren't used to concentrating while driving? (I'm only half joking, an American friend one made a similar remark when he visited me.)

I was definitely concentrating, and also in a semi-permanent state of yelling in terror. I don't understand why cars don't just fall off the sides of some of those roads and down into the steep ravines that appear to be the UK's (or at least Scotland's) answer to a shoulder.
