> were there more accidents? maybe not, dunno

Death rate per 100k inhabitants is roughly 4 times higher in Egypt compared to the US (44 vs 11) which is still quite high compared to eg Germany (4/100k)



Could you provide a source?

per 100,000 motor vehicles per year 12.4 USA 148 Egypt

per 100,000 inhabitants per year 14.2 USA 12.8

Arnt the higher figures in Egypt because theoretically there are smaller proportion of people to the number vehicles...?

Different years, different data normalization, but the general point hopefully holds.
