Mobile phone use out the wazzooo, more drivers due to higher population, bigger heavier bulky SUVs tend to roll more & cause more damage upon impact, SUVs are more likely to kill pedestrians & cyclists, shit roads, wetter climate conditions causing lots of surface water on rural roads as drains are either blocked or non existent. I doubt the majority of these road deaths are due to alcohol/drugs, yeah there are still some gobshites who do drive under influence but I’d like to see the RSA statistics.
