Canada has more deaths per mile driven at 5.1, than the US at 1.5.

Canada is 5.1 deaths per billion km.

USA is 1.5 deaths per 100 million miles from your link. That's about 9.3 deaths per billion km.

Other comparable countries would be Australia and New Zealand which have 5.2 and 7.2 deaths per billion km respectively.

USA is still well behind on that metric.

Your other comment about “accidents and deaths per mile driven.” is likely the right metric of the idea I was trying to convey!
