In general it is known that Asia has the highest road fatalities rate in the world.
In 2014, there were 1,775 reported road fatalities in the UK. This figure represented a decrease from previous years, reflecting ongoing efforts to improve road safety. The reduction was attributed to various factors, including better vehicle safety standards and effective road safety campaigns.
Close to 20% of fatalities on the road are related to alcohol. This is why is it is very important to not drink and drive.
In 2008, approximately 31% of all traffic fatalities in the U.S. were attributed to alcohol-related crashes. Of the total 37,261 traffic fatalities that year, about 11,773 involved drivers with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher. This highlights the significant impact of alcohol on road safety during that period.
It certainly is safe to say that, but actually the percentage is probably higher.
the greater the speed the greater the impact (more serious situation of the person impacted).
