New Hampshire is a state with no seat belt laws, yet it's near the bottom of traffic fatality rates in the US:

In the EU, Germany infamously has roads with no speed limits, but its traffic fatality rate isn't high either.

The statistic is almost funny to looking at, seeing SC at the top of the list with 40% more fatalities as the next state.

Germany only has no speed limits on some Autobahns. But you mostly end up in a Stau or Baustelle anyway, so it's not that exciting.
