Really not a fair comparison - data clearly needs to be normalized per capita. NY had ~58x the population of NV in 1960.

You're absolutely right. Just fixed it.

Did you though? Looks like the legend is still using absolute numbers.

Naw op definitely changed, now it's clearly fatalities per 1000 residents. Thanks OP.

When I was learning to drive the example of dangerous driving was a person dropped their cassette tape and was feeling around for it on the floor then veered head on into a truck and died.

Same. I specifically remember "messing with the radio"

There was an insurance ad on TV in the 90s or early 2000s where an empty cat is revealed to have a driver who was searching for a tape or CD when he pops up: found it!

Also pager related fatalities in 2023.

Maybe we'll all have self-driving cars and better public transit by then, so it'll be zero!

Or we will all have AI chat bots texting for us.
