Road death. A perspective

Death on the road from all causes is about 1800-2500 per year after about 300,000,000,000 driver miles.

 

Compared to:

 

From NHS Failing 17000  Seventeen thousand
 

From Smoking 112000  One hundred and twelve thousand.  Do we jail tobacconists?

 

Prostate Cancer 10000 Ten thousand
 

Breast Cancer 12000   Twelve thousand

 

From NHS Thirst over 30,000  Thirty thousand. 
 

& From accidents in the home 4000 four thousand. Do we ban people from cooking?

 

 

So question: Why are there so many highly profitable groups and quangos in road safety? People like, PACTS, Road Peace, BRAKE, 40 Speed Camera Partnerships, ACPO's RSS Ltd?  

See Africa's starving children. 

 

Follow the money folks. Just follow the money.
