I mean,Australia has way less snow than the US, that definitely has to account for a chunk of the difference in our numbers.

Is this specifically relating to the difference between Victoria and Mississippi?

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Between Australia and the US in general.

Mississippi gets negligible amounts of snowfall and it rarely sticks.

Im not saying its THE cause, just that the US as a whole has to regularly deal with a potential cause of accidents that is almost non-existent in Australia.

We also have a significantly lower amount of bear attacks and it has nothing to do with the quality of our bear management programs.

but significantly more dropbear attacks. perhaps that puts the fear into you and keeps you driving better.

But Canada has way more snow than the U.S., so that doesn't seem to be a major factor.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
