It can in no way, also factor in the seemingly countless near misses.
If speed limits were higher here, we'd all se a lot more actual collisions.
Cannot count the number of times other drivers have tried to intentionally rip into the round about to beat/cut off vehicles that are already in it. We've witnessed more than one hit 'n run, busted gate arms, cars on curbs/grass & even one large chevy suburban trying their luck on the multi-modal path....
Point being, reportable accidents maybe low per capita, but inept drivers here are not!

Lots of room for improvement. It is SO bad that it becomes humorous. I feel that there is NOT enough of a Police presence BOTH for ticketing bad driving AND for preventing robbery and serious crime. We are a Bubble surrounded by have-nots - it IS only logical to want a bigger Police presence. And friendly Officers without chips on their shoulders and too much feeling about their own power. Retired residents here DESERVE that!
