THE DIFFERENCE IN ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY IN THE U.S.A. AND IN THE NETHERLANDS- A STUDY OF STATISTICAL DATA

A STUDY AND COMPARISON OF STATISTICAL DATA OF BOTH THE U.S. AND THE NETHERLANDS CONCERNING TRAFFIC SAFETY IS ATTEMPTED. HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH STATISTICAL FIGURES ARE BASED ON THE SAME PRINCIPLES, THEY ARE SHOWN DIFFERENTLY FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS STUDY. FUTHERMORE, THE TOPICS UNDER DISCUSSION--RELATION TO LENGTH OF ROADS AND STREETS, POPULATION DEATH RATE, RELATION TO TOTAL MORTALITY, MILEAGE DEATH RATE, AND THE TIME-LAG IN CAR USE BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES--ARE LIMITED TO NUMBERS OF FATALITIES, WITH COMMENTS ADDED ON THE CULTURAL DIFFERENCES INHERENT BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES.
