Well you can start driving in US at 15

Like I said quick Google

Even less Germans driving, proves my point more

Germans only really drive if they are willing and able

Americans are forced to drive

Car deaths in America aren’t happening because they have automatic transmissions and can’t drive as fast as they want.

Just the seer amount of drivers, more cars on roads to crash into, and less willing and able drivers.

Quick Google

In 2024 36% of Germans reported using the car daily.

In 2023 95.3% of Americans older than 16 drive on occasions.

83 million Germans, 63% above 16

340 million Americans, 65% above 16

52 million potential drivers in Germany, 17 million actually drive

221 million potential drivers in America, 210 million drive daily

17 million vs 210 million daily drivers

~12x more drivers, only 2x more death

Per capita isn’t really a way to look at it

Besides automatic cars or lack of a manual transmission is not causing accidents.

Chance of death goes up significantly with speed

No one has ever crashed because they couldn’t go over the speed limit

Online review for a Yeti dog bowl said “Great bowl! Just don’t get your dog’s name engraved on it because it will outlast them!”

My grandfather said “It already comes with his name engraved on it”

Now my dog is named Yeti
