The objective of this study is to test the prediction that rates of caused by motor vehicle accidents, if appropriately compared with rates of suicide and homicide by matched population groups, would prove to be similarly distributed, or positively correlated with the combined rates of the latter. This prediction is based on the postulate that a significant number of drivers of death dealing cars, as well as their victims, have attitudes similar to those who become involved in suicide and homicide
