Iran may well be the world champion in traffic fatalities. Over 17,000 Iranians were killed on the roads last year, a 10% increase over the year before. Some 5,000,000 cars travel Iran\'s roads. For the sake of comparison, the number of cars in Israel is less than 2 million - considered the highest road density in the world - while the number of annual fatalities is somewhat over 500.
