Racial Disparities in Traffic Fatalities

Black drivers and passengers are 1.8 times more likely to die, per mile driven, than white people. Black pedestrians are 2.2 times more likely than white pedestrians, and black bicyclists 4.5 times more. Hispanic people similar pattern. Asian people much less likely than white people. Night time fatality is worse for black and hispanic people.

Article does not say who are the killers. Given the inherent racial segregation at neighborhood level, the killers are likely the same race as the victims.

Wealth likely factors into some of the disparities. However, the research fails to account for victims' wealth. They do say that more deaths are occurring in poorer neighborhoods, accounting for some of the disparity.

Given that wealth correlates with IQ, and so does race, and that low IQ correlates with reckless behavior of all sorts, we have to conclude that IQ is likely a major driver in the observed disparities, both for the victims and the killers.
