The new ranking established by vignetteswitzerland.com is unlikely to restore the coat of arms of Belgian motorists. Which, according to the study, would classify the most risky European drivers in the 9th place. Admittedly it is always better than being first, but let us admit that we would have seen each other a little lower in the ranking.
To achieve this observation, vignetteswitzerland.com has analyzed six critical road safety indicators in European countries: road mortality, driving under the influence of the drink, speed, drowsiness, using the phone while driving and wearing the seat belt. In the end, almost one in four drivers (24 %) would admit driving after consuming alcohol. Belgium would also present “a worrying rate of driving driving at 22.9 %, creating substantial risks of accident” while nearly 6 in 10 Belgian motorists (58 %) would regularly exceed speed limits on highways, contributing to dangerous road conditions. “In addition, 13.2 % of Belgian drivers do not carry safety belts, while 17.7 % use telephones handled by driving.”
