Germany has a weaker law, but it is strictly enforced and results in a much lower fatality rate

One thing that has just been touched on is how difficult it is to get a drivers license in Germany.

Ouch. I should have considered alcohol as a major role.

All this makes me wonder more about the real causes of highway deaths, I'm still of the opinion that poor road conditions are a major influence. Winding two-lane highways with open access and blind hills are a leading cause of death. Twinned highways engineered for speed have markedly lower fatality rates in my undocumented experience.

Regards,

WillP
