Need to look at total miles driven, not just population size vs. number of deaths. Doesn't Norway have huge taxes on automobiles which chill ownership? If so, then population is not relevant. If only 10% of people can afford to own cars, then the number of crashes and fatalities will certainly be low. The US standard of living is far higher. Whether that leads to more fatalities or not is anybody's guess. I would pre…

The US standard of living is lower than the Norwegian. In terms of GDP per capita, Norway is almost 25 percent richer. In reality, though there is a lot more equality in Norway where much of the population shares in the wealth. Having traveled extensively in both countries, I can tell you that the standard of living for regular people in Norway is far higher than that of regular Americans. https://www.google.com/publ…

I've grown the habit of telling people (in walking context) there are ultra marathons where people walk 5000 km and (in cycling contest) that I know low end cycling enthusiasts who do 300 km in a day - pushing as hard as they can. Their fitness is much closer to ours than to those winning the Tour de France. In my mind that means looking up to 1.5 km walk or 10 km of cycling really says more about me and you than it…

> there are ultra marathons where people walk 5000 km and [...] the world walking record is 175 km in 24 hours. Is that right? That's 685 days of continuous walking at the world record speed.

Don't ask me how. I downloaded the information from the internet.

I screwed up the math. It's 28.6 days at the world record speed. I multiplied by 24 unnecessarily. Still a long time, but a lot more reasonable (and it agrees with your records).
