It is actually hard to fathom. In those days it is a suprise that the news at 6pm didn't go for an hour just to deal with the fatalities for the day...

Amazing figures.
You'll find the biggest drop in the road toll was from the introduction of having to wear your seat belt. You'll find as the cars get safer and roads are safer (removal of blind spots, barriers for sharp bends) the road toll will reduce or stay the same with more poeple on our roads.
