On the other hand America has a poor record with car crash fatalities compared to other similarly developed countries. It could do with ratcheting things up a bit further.

No, you just need to drive less.

The higher numbers of traffic fatalities in the US aren't simply because Americans drive further- American roads are more dangerous per billion vehicle km than roads in other developed countries.

I wonder what would happen if you normalized by SAT/ACT score (or something that stands in for education level).

Places like Germany can afford to prevent anyone from getting a vehicle that isn’t capable because of public transportation.

If you prevent a rural American from driving, that is a wholly different situation.

Drive less, train more, stop buying huge SUVs, improve traffic laws…there’s a lot we could be doing.
