These crazy videos made me wonder about a couple of things, so I did some checking:
Russia vs USA traffic fatality rate per 100,000 people
Russia has 25.2 traffic fatalities per 100,000 people.
62% of those are in a four-wheeled vehicle.
36% are pedestrians.
The USA has 13.9 traffic fatalities per 100,000 people.
71.6 are in a four wheeled vehicle.
11.2 are pedestrians.
The death rate per 1000 people per year:
Russia 14.1
USA 8.4
Alcohol consumption per capita:
Russia 15.7 liters per year
USA 9.4 liters per year
