Tragic Traffic: Speed Kills

Postby GOLTZBORG » Wed Apr 20, 2011 3:21 pm

Last year 17,003 citizens lost their lives on Goltzborg's Continental Auto Roads System ( i.e. C.A.R.S. / InterState Highway System ); which was a marked improvement over the previous year, when 29,301 citizens lost their lives on the same highways and byways of the Commonwealth. ( a majority of the deaths were a direct result of excess speeding )

What is your nation's annual traffic fatality number ?

Estimates are less than 7,000 people will die in car accidents this year in the Reich. This is mainly because we are safety nuts when it comes to cars. They are fast, they are beautiful, many are hot rods, but you drive safely or you will get pulled over. And BAC limits are very strict here - You cannot drive above .04% BAC. And if there is a crack in the highway, you are advised to report it so it can be repaired immediately.

It is estimated 6 or 7 people lose their lives every year due to person-on-person collisions and accidents. Mostly likely 6, considering it's an even number.

We don't classify them as accidents so its unclear as to how many have died from an automobile.

Speed is not the problem - stupidity is. Whoever kills himself driving faster than he can handle on the given terrain is at fault himself. The traffic-laws simply state that driving has to be matched to the given circumstances. We don't actually keep track, but traffic accidents are quite uncommon.

Since few civilians own or operate automobiles, YellowApple's automotive fatalities have dropped to near 0%. However, approximately 4,000 aerial accidents were reported last year, of which 25% resulted in fatalities.

703. Because it's still a high number out of a population of 8.5 million.
