Browsing thru European Commission literature/statistics on transport, by the Directorate-General for Energy and Transport, I found ,among others, these data:
Road Fatalities (dead, within 30 days since accident)
UK 2000 2002 2003: resp. 3580 3581 3658
EU (15 countries) 2000 2002: resp.41009 38604
EU (25 countries) 2000 2002: resp.52489 49719
Railway Accidents (dead)
UK 2000 2002 2003: resp. 20 23 10
EU (15 countries) 2000 2002 2003: resp. 117 121 91
Note: Dead people in railway accidents include suicides,
road accidents are manslaughter of course.
How's this to review double standards?
