We have far better roads, vehicle testing and driver training than the US.

  And do you have a better rate of fatality on the roads?

    Yes, far lower. The US had approx 40,000 road deaths in 2024, the UK 1,600 Whether you divide that to get a per vehicle, per capita or a per mile travelled number its far, far lower.
