This Hungarian region is among the deadliest in Europe in terms of road accidents
Change language:
A Hungarian region is among the most dangerous areas of the European Union in terms of road accidents. In 2018, the number of deaths registered in Central Transdanubia was 97 deaths per 1 million inhabitants, which is an unusually high number. However, considering the whole of Europe, numerous fatal accidents have occurred in other 4 Hungarian regions as well.
According to Eurostat, in a world comparison, EU roads are among the safest highways. Nevertheless, road safety remains an important social issue, with 23,418 road deaths in the EU and 1.23 million road injuries registered in 2018.
Based on the number of road accidents, the most dangerous regions in the EU are:
- South Aegean Islands in Greece: 161 fatal accidents per million inhabitants in 2018.
- Alentejo in Portugal, where 142 people per 1 million inhabitants lost their lives in a road accident.
- Masovian Voivodeship in Polland, with a total of 127 road deaths per 1 million citizens.
The top 3 most dangerous road regions in the EU are followed by two Belgian, two Romanian and three Bulgarian regions. Concerning the neighbouring countries of Hungary, Romania and Croatia are also on the top of the list. The good news is that – based on the statistics – none of the Hungarian regions are among the ten most dangerous areas.
However, in the European Union, there are 33 administrative areas out of hundreds, where the number of fatal road accidents per 1 million inhabitants is greater than or equal to 85.
Unfortunately, we can already find Hungarian territory here, namely Central Transdanubia, with 97 deaths registered.
Laws and prosecution in Hungary for people that cause fatal accidents in NON-EXISTANT! Many years ago a young woman ran a stop sign slamming into a car my relatives were driving, KILLING TWO PASSENGERS and later causing the death of the third! This woman was not punished, or sent to jail, for the murder of three people in one family. OUTRAGEOUS! Where are the laws and lawyers protecting victims of manslaughter?????????
