Yes, in addition to that little 'oversight' you'll notice that all the countries cited happen to be either densely populated european style states, where people are forced onto trains and buses with outrageous gas taxes; or sparsely populated places. To me it proves the exact OPPOSITE of what they want you to believe. All the trains, bicycles, buses and trolleys don't make a dent in the per-mile death figures.
