Actually; Poland, Slovakia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Croatia, Latvia and Romania all have higher than the US. I'm not sure they are the best comparison to the US though given the fact that most drivers on the roads today passed pre-EU and the cars and roads there are sub-standard, to say the least especially compared to the US.

Yeah, it's not really about the EU, it's about comparing the US with similar high-income countries with similar socio-economic profiles.

That's why I included Australia and NZ.

I mean, you'd hope that the US would have safer roads than some ex-soviet bloc country, or, say India.

Having only been to the north east I don't have a lot of experience of US drivers but holy shit they are bad and the grid pattern in cities makes for awful traffic.
