It occurs to me that the significant common factor in all holiday road deaths is obvious:
The holiday.
By having statutory holidays, we ensure that there will be many people trying to go on holiday at the same time, loading up the roads.
If we just got rid of the fixed holidays, and upped the annual leave allocation to 5 weeks, traffic would be much less temporally concentrated.
Additionally, holiday destinations wouldn't be so crowded, and we wouldn't be discriminating against non-Christians.
