Interesting statistics for Lithuania. Vilnius which influences all pink area is notorious for driving over the speed limit. If you go 10 over you are slowing a traffic kind of driving. But for some reason less deaths.

As a person who is from the dark part of Bulgaria. I can confirm that our northwest is known for its drivers and roads…
Turkiye just sneaking in
What is the reason?
I always wonder how many lives Estonia’s headlight policy has saved.
I’m surprised Athens and Crete are”so low” compared to the rest of Europe and parts of Greece
The hell are they doing in Belgian Luxembourg?
Why is there data for half of norway? Seems out of place
Ring of death around Warsaw, who knew. Is it the local bumpkins in their 20 year old Golfs, or is it sales reps (former local bumpkins) speeding in and out of Warsaw, I wonder?
I’m surprised Romania isn’t higher.
We have many roads that officially have only 2 lanes, but in practice are used as 4 lanes roads, like [this](https://imgur.com/a/WYSgRn0).
The problem is that theese lanes are not wide enough to fit one car each (especially trucks). So accidents are very frequent.
Me to the cop: ‘Yes, I was over the speed limit. I didn’t want to stay too long in this region known for dangerous drivers.’ 🚘🚔
It seems like regions in Germany with a lot of highway traffic have less deaths compared to regions with less highways/more country roads
Denmark has the most organized road system I have ever seen. It is amazing.
Of course it’s like this in my country where majority of the government 80% (4 out of 5 parties: PSD, PNL, UDMR, AUR) is extremely corrupt.
Because of that we don’t have high speed trains and we don’t have highways.
And of course we don’t have good hospitals either!
And the saddest thing is that most of the people just blame the drivers as if other countries don’t have more or less the same kind of drivers.
But in my country with its low education, blaming the victim is like a national sport!
I wonder why the regions containing two out of Norways three most populated cities are left out.
Why would they leave out Viken, where the capital lies, but include counties mostly consisting of forests and Mountain?
*in Europe, not the EU (european union)
Now do drunk-driving correlation. There is far too much societal permission to drive drunk in the usual suspects countries.
OK, so i’ll be avoiding Wallonia in the Future…
Has anybody thought of another reason why there are so much fewer *deaths* in Germany?
Like the top notch medical care, the approx 85 air ambulances that reach every point on the map in max 15 minutes?
I would like to see a correlated map with accidents per 1 million inhabitants!
Once again, solid proof that Portugal is an honorary Balkan state
I have been several times in the Algarve (South Portugal), and I confirm that is the jungle and the wild west all at once.
I don’t understand how those roads are full of idiots when they are so calmed and nice when not inside a car. Drivers going without lights in the night, no checking priorities in roundabouts, going to absurd speeds, passing you when other car is coming, traffic lights as a decoration and cars going at 180km/h in the left highway lane with almost not separation.
I really like to know what is the problem with those imbeciles.
*the EU, Switzerland, Turkey and most of Norway
Wild wild east. Yes, I’m looking at you Poland, where huge trucks roam the small roads and spreading fear, speeding and kicking small cars off the road 😉
Whatever you do, don’t drive in Romania
This map is from the first year of COVID. Would be interesting to see a comparison with 2019, and/or lockdown policy
Another Brexit BENEFIT against the woke EU! Our drivers are now better than ever, freed from all the beurocratic red tape that stops good driving. Keep the roads free, and the deaths drop- the EU has failed to do this. Sad!
So that’s why Molise doesn’t exist, everybody who enters by car gets in an accident
The commute in eastern Romania is something out of Mad Max, everyone drives around with a can of chrome spray can in their glove box awaiting Valhalla. People in western Romania : “Honey, im off to work.”, Eastern Romania: “Witness meeeee!!!!”
What’s with Drenthe and Friesland. Did not expect that.
Portugal is again in Eastern Europe, not disappointed.
Actually Turkey has very good roads. The problem is how people drive and old, badly maintained cars.
This is why highways are important. Aside from economic development, they also save a lot of lives.
* Monaco – 0 per 100,000
* Norway – 2.0 per 100,000
* Sweden – 2.2 per 100,000
* Switzerland – 2,2 per 100,000
* Ireland – 2.9 per 100,000
* United Kingdom 2.9 per 100,000
* San Marino 3.2 per 100,000
* Denmark 3.4 per 100,000
* Germany 3.7 per 100,000
* Spain 3.7 per 100,000
So does this map consider Norway part of the EU or not?
Turkey what are you doing here?
Crete that low? Should be dark purple. Traffic incidents happen every day.
Not sure if 2020 was the best year for such statistic.
