Does the amount of cars on the road affect the amount of fatal car accidents? I did not study the amount of cars on the road in Canada therefore I can not say whether or not the amount of fatal car accidents increased or were affected but the amount of cars on the road. As the amount of licensed drivers increase, do the amount of fatal car crashes increase as well? The more licensed drivers there are in Canada, surprisingly the amount of fatal car crashes decrease. Have the cars on the road significantly increased from 1995-2003? In the data I found it does not state if the amount of cars on the road increased, just that the amount of licensed drivers increased from 1995-2003.

**__Hypothesis:__** **__I predict that there will be a weak negative correlation because of the improvement over the years in road construction and technology__**

Through my data I was able to find that my hypothesis was a weak negative correlation of r= -0.06. This is due to the improved safety of cars and programs that the government introduced for drivers and their own safety and road safety.
