This might be true in Canada too? I thought the death rate was related to the size of the vehicles preferred by the drivers in the measured region. And nobody likes ‘em bigger than Americans. And may Canadians, from what I’ve seen.

How are other countries on drivers not being on their cell phones or watching their phones\browsing? The US is terrible about it. It’s not legal most places, but it’s also not very enforced. I figured that was a bigger cause than the rise in vehicle size.

In Norway, even though we have a lot of larger SUV’s driving around, being caught on mobile is very pricy and police controls are very regular.
