"BTW the US has roughly 5x the population of the UK and 10x the road body count, despite having no roundabouts and significantly lower average population density."

But it has a higher NUMBER of concentrated areas, and that's where the accidents pile up. There are also more total road mileage in the US, particularly in freeways/motorways where speeds are higher and flow is expected to be smoother. You think London is bad? Try Los Angeles.
