No matter what kind of motor vehicle anyone would be driving, you must always remember the rule of the road at all times. It’s so easy to speed up than taking it slowly on the road. People drive in a rush to reach their destination and not paying attention to the traffic light which would end up colliding with another car and eventually cause the death to others around. I have here seventeen countries with the most numbers of motor vehicle accidents:

(Deaths per 100,000 people)

17. Sweden 5.6
16. Netherlands 7.2
15. Switzerland 8.6
14. Finland 8.6
13. Norway 8.7
12. Japan 8.8
11. Denmark 9.4
10. Canada 9.6
9. Germany 9.8
8. Australia 10
7. Austria 10.4
6. Ireland 11.6
5. Italy 12.9
4. France 13.7
3. New Zealand 14
2. Belgium 15.4
1. United States 15.5

Now you know the statistics of how many have died because of motor vehicle accidents. Would you be one of the persons who would be aware of the situation or ignore this? We’ll look forward to less death toll this year. Drive safely everyone! - International Motorsports
