Just Tyres have analysed data on the number of road traffic accidents in countries around the world to find out which country has the safest and most dangerous drivers. You can view the findings in their graphic below.

Key points:

• The safest country in the world to drive in is Norway, with only 20 road deaths per million of the population in 2017
• Other countries in the top 5 safest countries to drive in include: Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Denmark
• The most dangerous country in the world to drive in is the USA, followed by Romania and Bulgaria

‘Problematic quantification’ is not an expression I can claim to have heard in the past, and it’s certainly not one I’ve ever used myself.

However, at a recent meeting of The Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) the expression came up in a discussion about the review of the legal framework for automated vehicles being conducted by the Law Commission of England and Wales and the Scottish Law Commission. The consultation is open until 8th February. If you want to know more, details can be found on the Law Commission website
