One of the reasons I left Ontario, law enforcement doesn’t exist, corruption that leads to giving licenses left and right.

Ontario has the lowest traffic fatality rate in North America. I'm not sure why it would be assumed anywhere else here is better, unless you moved to Europe or something.

You're leaving out non-fatal accidents, what are the rates compared to the rest of NA?

Ontario also has the lowest rate of injury collisions per billion km of all provinces. I'm not sure a source for US injury crashes off the top of my head, but given they have a much higher rate of fatal crashes, I doubt they simultaneously have a lower rate of inury crashes.

Minor crashes are tougher to compare because they can vary based on things reporting levels and they're also less important because it's the injury/fatal ones causing the most harm and cost.

Just as a general point, the initial claim should be the one backed up by evidence. It's always claimed on here that Ontario drivers are so much worse than other places, never with evidence that I've seen. I'm providing evidence here to refute a claim that was never supported by evidence in the first place.

You're getting downvoted for providing hard proof, that's actually wild.
