Your post is from 2020, I’m not saying they are wrong numbers, but keep in mind: a lot of the year everyone was in lockdown, which might skew the numbers
Yes, there is a lot of correlation with safety standards (eg how much grip in various conditions tires have to provide, car safety & stability system, maintenance & road worthiness), which usually correlates to GDP.
Other main things are prob more cultural (attitude towards speeding & drunk driving, commuting alternatives, penal system, etc).
So Canada and Australia arent the outliers:
(Of which EU countries are at 4.6 for 2023.)
Please keep in mind that these numbers are per million inhabitants. The numbers in the post are per 100.000.
So Romania would be at 8.5 traffic fatalities per 100.000 inhabitants.

That’s why I added the 2023 data, to show that it’s not that much dif (4.2 in 2020 vs 4.6 in 2023). But you are completely right.
I think there are some African countries that can challenge the top US states.

older data though.
