Not remotely surprising, IMO.
ETA: In fact, I would expect to see a similar trend if one looked at all deaths from unintentional injuries. |

Why is the term "inequality" used here?
Same roads, same opportunities given by those roads. How they are used is what causes the problem. I bet the "not wearing a seat belt deaths" numbers look exactly the same. |

The ones that die because the ignition turned off or the ones where the carpet got on top of the accelerator and they forgot to turn off the engine.

many explanations:
The Stupid and lazy make less money so they own crappier cars The Stupid and lazy often dont know/understand rules of the road The stupid and lazy have less to lose so they often make poor driving choices. Also and this is just age realted and I am not sure they adjusted for that at all: thew younger you are the less likely you are to have higher education Soooo the less liekly u are not have a new car with late safety fearures, the more risky behavior, the more night driving, the more socal driving etc etc So between the socioeconomic and the age angle this is easily explained.... |

This isn't a surprise.
Uneducated people are more likely to die younger, have harmful addictions, not take good care of their health,etc. |

We need to mandate more safety features for cars to reduce this statistic ... if we can make cars unaffordable then poorer people won't be dying in car wrecks.

While the chart purports to show education level I'm sure it is more a depiction of age/maturity level.

Minimum education requirements for a driver's license should help also. Bachelor's degree should be a good starting point - working upward as required by fatality statistics. Can also be monitored by discipline; if more people with BA's are dying, then require BS degrees for licensing.

More proof that the minimum wage should be raised..
A living wage should be payed to people, thus curing this travesty of social and economical injustice. I say starting wage should be no less then $100 an hour. Why should someone have to toil in laborious ways for anything less then that, it would be detrimental to ones self worth and just plain make them feel bad. |

Maybe someone else will step up to the plate and waste 30 minutes of their time. Suffice it to say that people will believe anything. All you have to do is put some kind of "chart" in it and call it a "study" or "research." |
