I think the difference is that US people drive a lot more. I'm guessing most Bangladeshis dont have cars/motorcycles so its hard to die from an accident.

Plenty of pedestrians and bicyclists die in car accidents too. But you're right, it's a per-capita ranking, not per-unit-distance.

Wow, 4 cars for every 1000 people.

I knew roads in the US were dangerous, I didn't realize they were nearly as dangerous as Bangladesh or Egypt! No slight against those countries in particular but they are comparatively less prosperous (meaning older, less-safe vehicles, more pedestrians), have worse roads, and presumably not as advanced healthcare systems. I'm amazed the US, with all its advantages, does so poorly.
