I would take it with a large tablespoon of salt.

 

By shear probability mass produced car will have the highest incidence.

 

More useful if it is based on a particular country e.g. Singapore S some car models are not even sold in Singapore.

 

Should normalized the statistics e.g. number of Ferrari on the road versus how many deaths

 

Any major recall because of safety fault e.g. airbags

 

Luxury cars seldom speed because have chauffeur

 

Etc

 

 

In short, the highest number of deaths in the car is too often the driver.

 

Don't believe me go interview in LCK cemetery

Sure there are external factors, but the article went by death per million.

 

Top of the list Kia Rio topped it at 150 deaths per million. Vs no.15 at 47 deaths per million. It does say ath about the car, or at least demographics of driver

Not accurate. Useless data.

 

It does not factor in these criteria:

 

-age of car

-age of driver

-Type of driver, Uber/grab (PHV) - Years of driving experiences

-nature of crash (Poor vehicle maintenance, Did not buckle up seat-belt, Speeding / reckless, bad weather, road terrain)

-Popular cars for different countries

highly biased bah. All very basic cars considered for the States.  

 

Probably young people or people doing multiple shift work driving these basic cars, likely either youth or fatigue causing more accidents.

 

(camaro maybe cos of aggressive driving and the trucks which maybe on quiet country roads or maybe even going offroad for the people out in the middle states)

fully agree. This list is not about the car with the most deaths or most crashes but death per million. Demographic of drivers the car attracts definitely plays a part but other than that, other external factors are even out.

The article got the picture of the Chevy Aveo Station Wagon wrong. How to trust the data?

Kio Rio tops the highest.

Any Rio owners still alive here ?

Care to share your brush with death with us ?

High death rate are only due to reckless driving by the teenagers.
