    Out of 75 million kids 200 per year are killed by vehicles. This is roughly on par, albeit slightly higher than top EU countries.

    People rightfully look at you like you’re stupid when you make these statements that have nothing to do with reality. Get off the internet.


    Child Pedestrian Fatalities per Million Children (under 15)

    Country / Region Est. Fatalities/Year Child Pop. (0–14) Fatalities per Million

    United States ~225 ~61 million ~3.7 United Kingdom ~22 ~11.5 million ~1.9 Canada ~12 ~6 million ~2.0 Australia ~11 ~4.8 million ~2.3 Germany ~20 ~11 million ~1.8 France ~18 ~11 million ~1.6 Japan ~18 ~15 million ~1.2 India ~3,000 (est.) ~360 million ~8.3 Brazil ~450 ~50 million ~9.0 European Union (EU-27) ~140–160 ~72 million ~2.0

    Total EU child population (0–14): ~72 million

    Result: ~2.1 deaths per million children

      I’m not saying more kids die in traffic over there. I’m saying people have to be, and are, way more careful to keep their kids away from traffic.
