WillP,

In the report I sent to Jochen on this subject the author looked at alcohol laws and Slovakia was singled out.

States with low tolerance for alcohol have fewer deaths and those that are permissive do poorly. Slovakia had a strict law on blood alcohol, but its rarely enforced and they had 46.3 deaths per billion kilometers. Germany has a weaker law, but it is strictly enforced and results in a much lower fatality rate (11.1).

East Germany inherited West German laws on that subject and the country as a whole fairs very well.

Jochen - any regional breakout data?
