There was a time when Belgian driveres did not have to have a driving test to get a licence. They just applied for one when they reached the required age. That was when they were really lethal!

Have you seen the roads they have to deal with !!

Worldwide, I should imagine the Thais and all the drivers in India hold the coveted title of 'Crappiest drivers ever'

Tell me about it. I drove home through the tunnel last night. The French drivers were much better than the Brits, but nearly all the Belgians were terrible.

I haven't noticed the drivers being particularly bad to be honest. The have the poorest condition motorways in Europe though, the difference is noticeable as soon as you cross the border on either side.

Having spent some time on German roads and with German drivers, I'd put them above the Belgians.

...and the "so called" super fast Autobahns......if you like miles and miles of road works and 2 lane roads. Think the A34 and A14....and this between 2 major cities.

Never was I so happy to reach France!

I worked with a load of 'em a few years ago and they went through their hire cars at a fair old rate. One had too big accidents, the second one thankfully, he was seriously injured (only him) and lost his job, drink driving tw@t.
