Guess where 
And you lot have got the SAFEST, and you STILL complain!!
Taken from www.eurorap.org:
Part of the EuroRAP programme has been an analysis of the overall traffic and accident situation in each of 16 European countries.
Expressed as road fatalities per 100,000 population, the risk of being killed in a traffic accident in Portugal (21) and Greece (20.2) is three times higher than in Britain (5.9), Sweden (6.6) and the Netherlands (6.9); twice as high as in Germany (9.5) Denmark (9.7), Italy (11) and Ireland (11); and 25 per cent higher than in Austria (13.4), Luxembourg (13.5), Belgium (13.7), France (14.4) and Spain (14.6). The safest roads everywhere in Europe are undoubtedly the motorways - though again Portugal shows the worst record with 14.1 deaths per billion vehicle-km. Italy is next with 12.8, followed by Austria (8.9), Belgium (7.2), France (5.4) and Finland (5.0). Lower-rate countries are Germany (4.5), Denmark (4.3), Ireland (4.0), Switzerland (3.3), Netherlands (3.3), Sweden (3.2) and Britain (2.0).
For countries that supply data on A-level roads (ie, those roads that are immediately below motorway standard) Austria (22.9 deaths per billion vehicle-km), France (20.6), Belgium (19.9) and Germany (19.5) show high fatality rates. Britain (6.2 deaths per billion vehicle-km) has the lowest fatality rate, followed by Finland (12.2), Ireland (14.0), Denmark (15.5) and the Netherlands (17.5).
Motorways in Britain (64,900 vehicle a day) and the Netherlands (52,400) carry more traffic than any other European country. Germany (45,800) and Belgium (44,600) come next, ahead of Switzerland (38,200), France (29,400), Denmark (26,700), Italy and Ireland (both 26,000), Austria (25,600), Portugal (25,100) and Sweden (17,700). Britain also carries substantially more traffic per day on A-roads - 16,200 vehicles per day, compared to France (9,900), Germany (9,400) the Netherlands (8,400) and Belgium (7,200).
