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.

I’d love to see that normalised to how many of each vehicle type are in use aver the same time.
Initially, I see that and think trucks are less deadly than cars, but according to my brief Google search (https://www.statistiques.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/donnees-sur-le-parc-automobile-francais-au-1er-janvier-2024), there are 5x more cars than trucks, which puts them [trucks] over the top of cars in every category.
I guess that doesn’t really matter to the pedestrian. It still sucks to be killed by either.
A better measure is to normalise by kilometres driven rather than number of vehicles.
