Reply to comment by tilapios in [OC] Road Death Rate VS Income per Capita by ismaelsow

>The point of reporting deaths per 100k is to account for differences in the number of drivers.

I thought it was per 100k people, not per 100k drivers? If it's 100k drivers, that might explain it.

Good point, it is per 100k population. But even if women can't drive in Saudi, they can still ride in cars and die in road accidents, although WHO statistics show 87% of reported road traffic fatalities were men. I also can't figure out if a pedestrian killed by a car counts as a road traffic fatality.

Yes that also counts as a road traffic fatality in the source study.
