Western Aussies Most Deadly Drivers

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau released its annual road safety report yesterday and for the third year in a row Western Australia has scored the worst (or best depending on how you look at it) road toll with 10.4 deaths per 100,000 residents.

The next worst region was Tasmania, with 8.3 deaths per 100,000. Queensland had 7.9 deaths per 100,000, South Australia 6.8, Victoria 6.3, New South Wales 5.7 and the ACT had just 4.4 deaths per 100,000 people.

Zero deaths would be preferable but the only way to do that would be to stop people driving.
