Denmark has a smaller population than Massachusetts, how is that a valid comparison to a massive country like the US?

Again using Massachusetts as an example, a place with a similar population to Denmark, if you instead look at fatalities per billion vkm, you would actually find MA to be about twice as safe (~1.74 vs 2.8).

The data is inherently misleading because drivers in countries in Europe don’t drive nearly as much, they travel at much lower speeds, plus cars are simply unattainable to the average person as a result of socioeconomic factors.
