More than 2,200 people  were killed in motor accidents last year in a country with just over  three million vehicles.<a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jP40y80Mv_A3PWwyNOwSIzXgp6DA" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.google.com/hostednews/img/afp_logo.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
