Interesting to note the little page 7 article reporting that in 1942 more Brits were casualties of highway accidents than of war -- 148,000 highway casualties in 1942 alone versus 145,000 war casualties in the first two years of war.

Somehow I doubt if those numbers will hold true for every year of WWII.

For the Brits the first two years of the war was 9/1/39 through 8/31/41. The war in the Pacific hadn't even started yet. I would guess that casualties overtook auto accidents by year 3.
