Twice as many road deaths in the US IIRC.

FYI people drive wildly differently in the EU already.

    Per capita yes - but as so often in statistics, per-capita measures are an oversimplification. By deaths/km driven, the US isn't a particular outlier (Top score is Mexico with 27.5 (!!!) deaths / 1bil km, then #2: Malaysia with 16.2 and #3: South Korea with 8.2. Other countries of interest are Belgium (7.3), New Zealand (7.2), US (6.9), France (5.8), Australia (4.9), Canada (4.3))
