Interesting that the comments on the article make some good points, including that the UK has about the same / a better deaths per capita than Sweden, despite it being the exact opposite type of road environment

[edit: clarified wording some]

I don't think you want to see per capita, you want to see per driver-mile.

Not necessarily. Having e.g. a functional mass transit system that allows people to drive less is a perfectly valid way to reduce traffic fatalities.

It looks like that's lower in Sweden, too, but the comments give more of a suggestion of that, not a direct statement.
