Why would somebody even take time to go out their way to make this bullshyt ass chart?

That's an odd question..

There were no cell phones back then. Also, less cars and leas highways/expressways, freeways, etc. Less people equals less fatalities..

Imagine if they had social media back then.

The fukk type of graph map is that shyt looks like it was drawn by Bart Simpson

This is a troll but if you look up car deaths by year the USA has always had a very high amount of car accident deaths. Every decade

Dinosaur attacks 1960

Same map

Imagine if they had social media back then.

Muhammad Ali would have been a tweeting machine.

Take your black ass to the 1960s, and see how safe it is

Especially when driving used to be very dangerous.

 

[LuuqMaan]

No seatbelts and drink driving with less lights on the road. I rather text and drive

Traffic death rate per capita used to be higher. Way higher.

1960 had 36,399 deaths in a country of approx 180 million.

2020 had 38,824 deaths in a country of about 330 million.

Makes sense. Less traffic laws. Less safety features on cars, etc.

But, on average, I don't think a lot of people died via car accidents, etc. in urban areas and rural areas where there were no traffic lights.

As for the texting portion.. Come on..There were no cell phones back then. shyt, how many people here used to own a typewriter back in the 80s & 90s?? How many people here had a pager?? *raises own hand to both questions*
