* **Bulgaria and Romania**: Both countries maintain extremely high road death rates, with only minor improvements since 2013. Bulgaria’s death rate slightly decreased from 83 to 82 deaths per million, while Romania saw a reduction from 93 to 81 per million. Despite this, they remain among the deadliest countries in Europe for drivers.
* **Luxembourg’s Remarkable Improvement**: Luxembourg achieved the most impressive reduction in road deaths, with fatalities dropping dramatically from 84 per million in 2013 to 39 per million in 2023, a decrease of more than 50%. This is one of the best examples of success in road safety improvement.
* **Slovakia’s Concerning Increase**: Slovakia experienced the highest increase in road deaths over the last decade. Its rate more than doubled, jumping from 22 deaths per million in 2013 to 50 per million in 2023. This highlights the country’s growing challenges in road safety.
* **Norway’s Success**: Norway remains the leader in road safety, reducing road deaths from 37 per million in 2013 to just 20 in 2023, a 46% improvement. This significant reduction sets an example for other countries in Europe.

The denominator doesn’t have any sense. It should be the kms driven, or some other indicator of the intensity of car use.

WTF are y’all doing? We don’t have a speed limit here in Germany and driving here is generally batshit when compared to Scandinavia. If you manage to top our insanity there’s something really, really wrong with your laws.

In the movie John Wick 4 the main bad guy says his father told him how you do one thing is how you do everything. It’s interesting to see how countries that do one thing really well systemically follows with other things as well like how Norway is also a country with the best GDP per person. Seems to imply that if people get onboard with policies that works for everyone, those countries then succeed in many different ways one of which is traffic safety.

Ah. Bulgaria. Last week we drove through the Rhodopes. Speed limit is 40, you can’t accelerate more since there isn’t a single straight road through the mountains. People were rushing to overtake us with trucks in the opposite direction. Scariest ride of my life. Lots of people drive drunk as well. Our drinking culture makes Russia and the Baltics look sober. Deadly accidents in cities are usually due to young people speeding while drunk and on speed during small hours. The other day we had two different fatalities in two major cities caused by young people speeding and hitting a street light. That’s on top of the regular highway drunk drivers speeding and crashing with cars unfortunate enough to share a road with them…
And then people ask me why I haven’t got a license.
