The media likes to beat up automotive related deaths but in the scheme of things it's nothing. 2 surprising stats I heard this week is the number one cause of death for males under 44 is suicide and every week 2 women are killed by their husbands or family members. They some extremely serious issues right there.

Nelso my mates a cop who worked the snow a couple of years back and he reckons it's about 5 people a year now who die at the snow here. I heard some crazy stat about drownings at Bondi beach too but it only seems to be the automotive related fatalities making the news.

A dude gets clocked doing 45kph over the speed limit on the freeway and its national news, someone commits suicide and you never hear of it..
