Choose your country :
http://www.etsc.eu/map-of-europe/
Most other European countries do better, only Cyprus (CY), Luxemburg (LU),
Lithuania (LT), Latvia (LV), Bulgaria (BG), Poland (PL), Greece (EL) and Romania do worse than Belgium (BE).
With the exception of troubles states Bulgaria and Romania, all former Eastern European countries are catching up quickly with ever more modern cars and better infrastructure.
Australia does better as well :
The road death rate in the USA was 142 per million population in 2006 (latest available data) against 79 in Australia in 2007 and 87 for the EU in 2007 (down to 79 in 2008).

BTW, I don't see how going off on this tangent has anything to do with accidents involving deer.

You don't ?
I wasn't really going off on a tangent.
Look at the statistics for European deer territorry : Sweden, Norway, Finland.

They don't need to drive huge
tanks to survive the deer.
