100, 000 vehicles in 1950 were responsible for 114 deaths, but by 2011 they were responsible for only five deaths.
Almost all of the richer nations have followed this pattern, in spite of traffic increasing. In the 30 years between 1980 and 2009, deaths on roads fell by 55% in Australia, 69% in France, 63% in Britain, 54% in Italy and 58% in Spain. But deaths slightly rose in Greece.
Sadly these trends are not observed the world over. While the average risk for a person from dying on the roads in high-income countries is 103 micromorts per year, it is 205 in low-and middle-income countries. Of 3, 500 people killed a day worldwide, 3, 000 are in the developing world, in spite of those countries containing less than half of all cars on the road. (304W)
