Yes, there are fewer deaths on the autobahn, but people there drive with more awareness, they have different driving habits than North Americans.
Its a simple fact, you have less reaction time when you drive faster.

You go to all that trouble of actually looking up all that concrete evidence and then you have to go and muck it up with a statement that is so entirely subjective that it baffles me that you're attempting to use it to argue a point. Funny thing about statistics too. . . when you look at them from the right perspective you can make them say damn near anything.
