Germany here, we don't actually have "plenty" of rails for public transport, we love our Autobahn (no general speed limit!) and our cars, yet our vehicle fatality rates are among the lowest in the world (half that of the US).
The reason that fatalities are 10x higher in Asia is that people drive (and walk!) like lunatics and vehicle fatalities are just shrugged off.
Just be more orderly is basically what I am saying. Also eat more sauerkraut - it's healthy!
I’m not sure who is downvoting this, but there are 1.74 people killed per billion KM on the Autobahn. This compares with 1.16 in the U.K. and 3.38 in the U.S.
Having driven about 2000KM on the Autobahn as a tourist the lane etiquette on the Autobahn is the best I’ve ever seen, and I’ve driven through the U.S. (both East and West coast) and much of Europe. It’s no surprise to me that the Germans can drive on de-restricted roads and have the one of the lowest number of deaths (HIGHWAYS ONLY) in the world.
You need to put the trains below ground, or well above!
