minus-square@ObM@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink19•edit-219 days agoI’d love to see that normalised to how many of each vehicle type are in use aver the same time. Initially, I see that and think trucks are less deadly than cars, but according to my brief Google search (https://www.statistiques.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/donnees-sur-le-parc-automobile-francais-au-1er-janvier-2024), there are 5x more cars than trucks, which puts them [trucks] over the top of cars in every category. I guess that doesn’t really matter to the pedestrian. It still sucks to be killed by either.
