    well that is a surprise. Luckily it seems to be Darwinian with escooter riders taking the brunt of the deaths.

    47% of those killed in cars weren't wearing seatbelts.

    Many drivers performing poorly post lockdown.

    Number of road deaths per billion of miles driven was higher than pre-pandemic last year while e-scooter collisions jump 193%
    • Road deaths in 2021 were 7% higher than lockdown-impacted 2020
    • Compared to 2019, fatalities were 12% lower - though deaths per billion miles driven last year were higher than pre-pandemic levels
    • Figures reveal record high proportion of casualties in cars not wearing a seatbelt
    • E-scooter collisions jumped 193% - 229 pedestrians seriously injured by riders
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
