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.
Absolutely. Here’s the updated chart including the EU as a whole, based on aggregated Eurostat and European Commission road safety data.
