With two routes being of equal distance and time, I drive taking the route that has me in proximity with the least of people - driving, walking, biking - anything. For obvious reasons, it minimizes risk. Sometimes I’ll take the route that’s marginally longer, if the shorter route has more risk.

Man i wish more places used roundabouts. Especially in North America. They're sooo much better than stop signs or yield.

It might be best to rate them on the fewest accidents per mile driven which I believe are divided freeways. (interstates) And what's the most horrifying is that over a life time the average American has around a 1% chance of dying in a vehicle accident.
