We are WAY off topic here, and this thread should be killed (but not
before I chuck in 2p's worth).

Globally?  On Radio 4 this morning I heard someone (I think he was
called Serle, possibly a police spokesman) said there were 250 drug
overdose cases per month in England & Wales (3,000 p.a.)

>but compared to

And there are 3-4,000 deaths in road traffic accidents p.a., and ten
times that number of serious injuries.  (A serious injury includes "any
fracture".)

So 3,000 drugs overdoses (not necessarily fatal, just overdoses) and
3-4,000 fatalities on the roads.
