    Errm, it’s not the roads that are dangerous, it is the useless and dangerous Hungarian drivers that are the problem. Probably the worst drivers in Europe.

    Maybe some accidents and injuries could be reduced if the government were to increase the quality of their roads and do proper repairs instead of making patches. We have the highest cost of any country in the region for annual vignettes but the poorest roads with the poorest road repair system of any. Look at Croatia, Slovenia, Austria even Romania all have better roads and better maintained roads. The fix for bumps and holes in Hungary is lower the speed limit and maybe repair with terrible patches that make the roads look like a quilt!
