Part of it is that we have a small number of deaths, so 3-4 more is a 2-3% increase.
Part of it is that the roads were quieter, so where speeders would have had to slow down more frequently and so would have had fewer or more survivable crashes, because the roads were quiet they were able to crash at higher and less survivable speeds.
Someone hide this before they double fines again
When the overall numbers are very low it only takes one bad incident to register as a percentage increase in the overall death count.
I would say it’s not really statistically significant – we have very low number of road deaths, so one bad collision with multiple deaths could, for example, explain the entire increase.
Absolutely everyone saying the same thing…… Italians are brutal drivers!
