    South Africa has been ranked as the most dangerous country in the world to drive in.

    The reason we’re scored so poorly is an even harder pill to swallow.

    Zutobi, an online driver’s education company, scored each country out of 10 based on five factors; estimated road traffic death rate, maximum speed limit, seat belt wearing rate, road traffic deaths attributed to alcohol, and blood and alcohol (BAC) limit for drivers.

    It turns out that SA has far too many drunk drivers and people not wearing seat belts, and is thus the worst country to drive in for the second year in a row.

    We scored a dismal 3,41/10.

    The Citizen has the data:

    According to the study, there are 22,2 road traffic related deaths per 100 000 people in the country.

    The data also reveals that only 31% front-seat passengers wear their seatbelt in South Africa.

    IOL added that South Africa scored the highest in terms of the rate of alcohol-related road traffic deaths, too, at 57,5%.

    Thailand scored poorly on the seat belt front because citizens primarily drive around on scooters and bikes.

    The US was third thanks to high levels of BAC.

    All that, compared to the world’s safest countries to drive in:

    Apparently, in Iceland, there are an estimated two road traffic deaths per 100 000 residents and the number has been declining since 2019.

    Malaysia has the lowest amount of alcohol-related road traffic deaths, at just 0,1%.

    Meanwhile, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, and Japan are estimated to have the highest rate of front seat belt usage in the world, at 98%.
