I agree that cars and guns are common causes of mortality among groups that already have low overall mortality.

It occurred to me to look up statistics adjusted by years of life lost, which gives more weight to younger victims and seems to favor your agenda.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Years_of_potential_life_lost

"While the most common cause of death of young people aged 5 to 40 is injury and poisoning in the developed world, because relatively few young people die, the principal causes of lost years remain cardiovascular disease and cancer.[4]"

[Regarding Australia:] "When disability adjusted life years are considered, cancer (25.1/1,000), cardiovascular disease (23.8/1,000), mental health issues (17.6/1,000), neurological disorders (15.7/1,000), chronic respiratory disease (9.4/1,000) and diabetes (7.2/1,000) are the main causes of good years of expected life lost to disease or premature death.[7]"
