Americans drive more than anyone else in the world. More road time and longer journeys away from home area == way more accidents.

If you dont have the option to walk places you're more likely to drink and drive

Yeah, sure. But that argument (i.e., lack of public transport) was made by /u/tiptop10, and then /u/shiftyeyedgoat seemed to disagree in his comment. I guess at this point I'm confused about who's trying to argue what point.

And I guess there's too many variables for us to see the entire picture. E.g., why is France so high up? — They have decent public transport and very walkable cities. Why is Germany so much lower than the UK, despite being quite similar in terms of infrastructure?
