i had some dates with a girl who looked at me like that. Exactly this critical facial expression… 🤔

But then obviously pedestrians or cyclists don’t compare in distance by far. Cars drive autobahns and whatnot. There should be a statistic for daily use instead. Like: ride the bike to work versus drive the car to work versus take the train to work, etc. How many people die?

there are significantly more cars around than bikes.

I see what you mean and agree, that relative numbers would be nice. But what would the counter argument be? That if there were more bikes, then bike-related deaths would rise more than car-related deaths would shrink? It would be hard to prove that.

Also, the matrix for cities still shows cars as a much bigger problem, while European cities have plenty of cyclists. Again, relative numbers would be nice. Or a comparison between a dutch city and a polish city, for example. But if i compare both tables (overall vs cities), i am certain the argument holds.

this is about road traffic. I am sure murder goes into an other statistic.

At least here are some numbers https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=File%3ATravel_distance_per_person_per_day_by_main_travel_mode_for_urban_mobility_on_all_days_(%25)_v3.png

Travel distance per person per day by main travel mode for urban

Is that the raw deaths per vehicle, or does it equalize relative vehicle popularity?

There is a URL to the study. Let us know what you find.

I assume that there are a fair bit more cars on the roads than there are motorbikes, which means that we would not be able to compare them otherwise.

I think i saw somewhere that motorbikes are more deadly relatively, but mostly to their own rider.

Unless, of course, if one simply is trying to sow discord.

Do you mean me? Because i don’t have numbers on motorbikes?

I’d guess they know how many people died, even if there is no police report. Or even if the culprit fled from the crime scene. There is a url to the study.

er… yeah that looks weird. I think the truck was only the main vehicle in a crash. Read the little description underneath. There could have been another vehicle involved, which killed the truck driver, maybe?
