If you ever wanted to learn about the countries with the highest road accidents and fatalities in the world, then we have the answer for you.
Since the invention of motor vehicles, road accidents have been a serious concern. Thankfully, most road accidents do not result in fatalities, but nobody wants to be involved in such an unfortunate event. In our article, we will take a look at countries that have the deadliest roads. If you are wondering what country has the most car accidents, then we have to say it is Libya. In our research we found the highest number of fatalities occurred in Libya, (according to the latest data) which is roughly 73.4 people per 100,000, per year. Unfortunately, we were only able to obtain data up to 2013 from reliable sources, thus we are unable to provide you with an answer to questions like “what country has the most car accidents 2016?” or to give precise information on road accident statistics 2015 even. One thing is for sure, that the more a country spends on infrastructure, the less likely road accidents are in that particular country.

Speaking of infrastructures, did you know which countries already have the best road infrastructures in the world? Well, you may be able to guess a few names but I am sure you won’t be able to guess all the names. Please consider checking out 11 Countries with the Best Road Infrastructure in the World as well. Road accidents happen wherever we go, but why exactly do they happen? Most often than not, road accidents happen due to human error, which is pretty much inevitable. One tiny miscalculation or just a split second of absentmindedness can cause a catastrophe. Poorly maintained roads can also have a significant impact on road accidents. The fact that in the top 10 countries with the highest road accidents enforcing safety laws are not a priority, complicates matters even further. You should check out the 11 Primitive Countries With The Worst Infrastructure In The World, which will give you an idea about how ignorant governments can be regarding the infrastructure of a country. Countries like Malawi, Liberia, Central African Republic are some of the worst countries for taking road trips. These countries are extremely underdeveloped and their economies are basically in shambles. But unfortunately, a few developing countries with considerably strong economies also made it into our list, like Thailand and Iran.
Let’s talk about road traffic accident statistics. We used reports published by renowned and reliable sources like the WHO (World Health Organization) and the OCED (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) for our research purposes. As mentioned earlier, we were only able to find data up to 2013, and thus we had to base our research on that data. Things may have changed since a major survey was last undertaken by a reliable organization, and we hope it changed for the better. To bring things into perspective, we have to take a look at car deaths per year worldwide. In this case, let’s just take a look at the estimated figures published by WHO for the year 2013, which is 1,250,000.
The topic of our today’s article is pretty morbid, but we have to talk about these things. When enough people start to talk, certain governments will not be able to turn a blind eye towards these incidents, and will be forced to start fixing things.
Until then, let’s get the list of the countries with the highest road accidents and fatalities in the world started.
