France's 'killer trees' under threat

Deaths have apparently reduced since chopping down trees.

But they're also reduced in areas where there are no trees.

The only obvious inference is that trees on roads kill drivers not even on those roads.

These trees should have helmets and hi viz.

Either that or the French should stop driving pissed. Drink is implicated in about 29% of road fatalities in France, more than twice the rate in the UK, and their fatality rate is already about 50% higher than ours per vehicle-mile or per capita.
