3. Nice bell shaped curve
France, Belgium, Italy, and Germany all have
very high location quotients
Luxembourg has very high ratio of cars per
person, mainly due to economy and European
car manufacturers.
Romania is another interesting country in this
aspect.

6. Bigger countries with more population have
higher death rate
The data is skewed from unreported deaths or
injuries further leading to deaths
Primary European Union countries also have the
highest amount of road deaths except for:
Germany
Sweden
United Kingdom
