Abstract
ROAD FATALITY RATES IN SOME RICH DEVELOPING COUNTRIES (RDC RICH DEVELOPING COUNTRIES) AND COMPARED WITH THOSE OF SOME INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES (ICF INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES DURING THE FIFTIES) DURING THE FIFTIES WHEN THEIR MOTORIZATION LEVELS AND RATES ARE COMPARABLE. IT WAS FOUND THAT FATALITIES PER VEHICLE IN BOTH RDC AND ICF RELATE INVERSELY TO MOTORIZATION LEVELS (VEHICLE PER POPULATION). IT WAS ALSO FOUND THAT THE POWER OF THE INVERSE RELATION CORRELATES WITH MOTORIZATION RATES. SPECIFICALLY, SLOW DECREASE IN FATALITY RATES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID INCREASES IN MOTORIZATION LEVELS, THE STRENGTH OF THE ASSOCIATION BEING GREATER IN THE CASE OF RDC.(Author/publisher).
