Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Sweden is as expected. 200-something fatalities for 10 million people. Norway stands out๐Ÿ˜ƒ

It got me thinking about definitions, though. For Sweden every death during transportation is counted (including busses, heavy trucks and single accidents with a bike), while the definition my 2 minute googling found for Canada said deaths resulting from accidents involving automobiles.

The stats are normalised for per 1 million inhabitants are they not?

But your second point is definitely very good. I imagine getting consistent fully comparable numbers from all the various countries isn't easy.
