(*) Around seven people *a day* are killed in UK road "accidents".

No, the number killed per day is 5.

If virtually anything else under the control of people killed that many
there would be an out cry.

Doctors kill more people than drivers do. There are 72,000 preventable
deaths in hospital each year. I don't hear much of an outcry about that.
Approximately 1,800 people die on the roads annually so doctors kill 40
times more people than die in accidents. Where is your outrage over this
carnage?

The number of people killed on the roads in the UK has halved in a decade,
I don't hear much praise for that.
