Are we the n°1 country for road safety and good driving habits? (compared, Accord)

[born in the usa]

Folks, hi, your opinions appreciated on the topic.

We all know that we are the greatest country in the world for many reasons. We, indeed, are number one regarding lots of stuff. And if we look closer to the short list of developped countries (it includes Canada, Australia, New Zeland, Japan and most of the western european countries) we definitly beat them, being number one, in :
-murder and crime rates
-obesity rate
-pollution and global warming responsibility
-poverty rate
-family debt
-workaholism

But what about road safety and trafic fatalities.Do ya know something on the topic? Are we respectful? Are our roads safe compared with the others? Are we civilized when hitting the road? is it civil war or quiet peace in our roads?
What you think folks?

According to a study done by Simon Fraser University, Canada has twice the rate of violent crime as the US.

I'm having a hard time believing that...do you have any statistics to back up your claim?
