As far as I know Finland has the world's strictest driving licence, so I'm actually surprised to see it posting worse statistics than Sweden here.

    Sweden is as expected. 200-something fatalities for 10 million people. Norway stands out😃

    It got me thinking about definitions, though. For Sweden every death during transportation is counted (including busses, heavy trucks and single accidents with a bike), while the definition my 2 minute googling found for Canada said deaths resulting from accidents involving automobiles.

    The stats are normalised for per 1 million inhabitants are they not?

    But your second point is definitely very good. I imagine getting consistent fully comparable numbers from all the various countries isn't easy.
