South Africa Ranked as World’s Most Dangerous Country to Drive In

South Africa has indeed been ranked as the world’s most dangerous country to drive in, according to a report by Zutobi, an online driver education platform. This ranking is likely due to the country’s high rate of road accidents and fatalities.

To put this into perspective, the Western Cape Government has been working to improve road safety through its “Safely Home” program, which has achieved a 46% reduction in road fatalities since its inception in 2009. However, despite these efforts, South Africa still struggles with high levels of crime, civil unrest, and kidnapping, which can all impact road safety.

The country’s road safety challenges are further complicated by factors such as poor road conditions, inadequate traffic law enforcement, and a lack of vehicle standards. To address these issues, the South African government has implemented various initiatives, including the National Road Safety Strategy, which aims to reduce road fatalities and injuries.

If you’re planning to drive in South Africa, it’s essential to exercise caution and follow safety guidelines, such as avoiding driving at night, keeping doors locked and windows closed, and avoiding displaying cash or valuables.
