this presumably includes pedestrians, so is a massive overestimate of the deaths of people who were driving, but I’ll go with it for now
This page claims that pedestrian fatalities represent about 11% of the total fatalities from motor vehicle accidents, so it’s in the same ballpark either way. I wouldn’t call that a particularly authoritative source, but by some back-of-the-envelope math it’s fairly consistent with your numbers.
Thanks for checking. I probably should have bothered to do that myself, after berating Michael’s lack of scholarship. This UK government publication says that 25% of road deaths were pedestrians, and 50% were car drivers, so yes, figures for total casualties are basically the same as figures for car drivers.
