Here, we took up the "number of driver fatalities per 100,000 cars" as an indicator of car safety. The number signifies how many drivers were killed in traffic accidents per 100,000 passenger cars in Japan. A fatality here means a victim who died within 24 hours of an accident.
Analysis was conducted on both ordinary-size passenger cars and light passenger cars. All types of car accidents, including frontal collision, were included. The analysis covers the 5-year period from 2000 to 2004.
