    Fatalities per capita is probably less interesting than fatalities per unit of distance driven.

      There are states in Australia that can swallow Texas whole. Long distance driving is unavoidable, so it’s less useful as a metric because it can’t be changed easily. It would mean improving public transport, subsidising domestic flights, etc - and we all know how likely that is.

        I mean, you guys have 6 states covering a landmass roughly 75% the size of the US…

          You’ve heard the term “balkanization”? You’ve just invented “US-ification”.

          More states = more politicians 🤮

            I’m really hopeful people get their heads out of their asses and flip the majorities in the house and senate next year…
