    Like Tal said, a confounder for that would be distances driven. There are probably similar ones like rural/uban populations etc. It would be great to see a study allowing for these.
    I couldn’t find one but I didnt look very hard.

      Death rates correlate with education levels, culture, urbanization rate, car size, driving laws, speed cameras and road design.

        In that order?

        edit: OK, so I actually watched the video: #1 was vehicle miles/kms travelled

        It’s miles driven per person. Wisconsin and Minnesota have ridiculous drunk driving rates, but they are middle of the pack.
