There are traffic fatality statistics by nearly all countries. Parts of Western Europe and Japan are much safer (like half the fatality rate) per capita but in my experience a lot of that is due to their infrastructure not allowing high speeds, though some of it is probably stricter licensing.
Wow, given how poorly people drive down here in FL I'm glad the speed limits are also significantly lower. Most highways are 40-50mph and the interstate is 50-70mph. People tend to drive around the speed limit or about 5-10mph over. Only exception (that I regularly see) is one part of I-4 people always seem to go 70mph when the posted limit is 50mph...
Last time I drove down to Miami on the 95 people were flying on that freeway going 90+ mph. I didn't see a single cop until I actually got to Miami and saw a few cops hauling screeching people out of the bars and throwing them into the street later that night.
