As the chart shows fatalities increased by about one-third as from the third decade and pretty much stayed at that level since then. Which
roughly coincides with the time we've been stuck in the
middle-income trap – half of which we've been in the
flat-tax trap.

Man! What can explain this 32% jump from the second to the third decade?
One wonders what kind of driver education/training, infrastructure and enforcement (removal of grey-uniformed policemen...?) we started having in this time...
The big jump is probably die to a combo of
1. Increase in economic activity
2. Lower overall management quality (experienced civil servants were fired in 1982)
3. Lower-calibre politicians (those believing they've got the golden touch to produce economic miracles)
For the decade starting in 2008 we need to factor in the flat tax which has prevented the redesign of roads for better safety and investments to subdue risk factors.
