Default Roadside safety

My Pop's works in the traffic industry and sent me a link to this website. I thought it might be of interest to some on here.

According to the 'facts & figures' section, more people come off the motorway and hit a tree, than people hit any roadside object in a rural area. Interesting.

Also, the most severe accidents happened with motorway lamp posts, then rural trees next. However, you're more likely to have a KSI hitting a tree than you are a lamp post (maybe due to the design of the lamp posts).

Another argument to chop down all the trees then
