A map of the countries with the world's most deadly roads

On these roads the highest level DTP



On average, 18 out of 100 000 people in the world die each year in car accidents, but in different countries, the number of such deaths is also different. The champion in this terrible category - Namibia, where 45 cases per 100 000 die each year in automobile accidents. And, for example, in the Maldives in the accident killed the only two people in a year.

Most of the countries with the highest rates of road mortality are in Africa, and the lowest - mainly in Europe. According to the World Health Organization, the mortality rate in road accidents is comparable to the death rate from cancer, heart disease and stroke. In many countries, the death in a car accident is a major cause of death.

The highest percentage of fatalities in road accidents is observed in the United Arab Emirates - 15, 9% of the total mortality. Nevertheless, the number of annual deaths in road accidents UAE ranked 32th in the list. This discrepancy occurs primarily because the UAE mortality rates are generally low - a year in this country die of 155 100 000.

Compared to some African countries the difference is huge - for example, in Chad, a country with the highest mortality rates in the world, for various reasons, die every year 1717 people from 100 000.

The top ten countries with the highest mortality rate in road accidents include:

Namibia - 45 per year; Thailand - 44; Iran - 38; Sudan - 36; Swaziland - 36; Venezuela - 35; Congo - 34; Malawi - 32; Dominican Republic - 32; Iraq - 32. Russia is not included in the top ten. However, in the ten most "prosperous" countries in this regard, too, it is not.
