What are your chances to die in a car traffic accident?

Why I put this number here? Because these chances are so amazingly high! It is frightening. Now you see, chances are lowest in Malta, but this is clear because it's a small island. I was at Malta, people are relaxed and friendly. You also can see, chances are highest in the former Soviet confiscated countries, like Poland or Letland. A chain is not stronger than the weakest part. Sure many drive good over there, but some small group of people drives risky over there, because they never had a culture of car driving. Yet as you can also see see from the curves, the learning process over there is amazingly fast, and all curves seem to point at some minimum of appr 50...60, in the future The next step will come from driving assistance computers, or call it self driving cars. That will reduce lethal accidents by a large factor.

What I would like to demonstrate here is high risk to die in such an accident. The average in 2008 (which is as far as the charts go...) is 80 casualties per Million. Not much, you would say. But... a person lives today more than 80 years, and risk begins when you are born, also babies can die in traffic accidents. So we have to take the statistic average as presented here. Over a lifetime of 80 years, that means from 1 Million people, 6400 die, and dividing those numbers gives: 1.000.000 / 6400 = 156.

So you have an amazingly high chance of 1 : 156 to die in a traffic accident.

This number is an average.

If you travel twice as much as others, and are not more careful than others,
you have a chance of 1 : 78 to die in a traffic accident.
