What is being counted?

Have I got this right?

In the UK it appears they're counting the deaths per billion miles that people walk.

In your BMJ article it appears they're counting deaths per billion miles that people drive.

Ooh I missed that whilst looking with my early morning coffee.

Pedestrian deaths per billion miles that people drive seems an odd choice of measure.

You're right - it's "fatalities per billion miles walked" vs "fatalities per billion miles driven".
