    Overview

    It is crucial to consider the rate of road accidents in a country that you intend to travel. Road accident is a menace that has claimed many lives. The key attributes to road accidents are mainly careless driving and poor road infrastructure. In other countries, a simple street crossing is risky. This is because the necessary support hasn’t been appropriately placed.

    According to the 2008 research by the World Health Organization, car accidents take a substantial percentage of the causes of death. Auto accidents account for 1.8% of all deaths.

    This article aims to highlight some of the countries with the highest number of road accidents. The results were based on the research by the World Health Organization and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Initiative.

    1. Namibia

    According to the World Health Organization, Namibia records the highest number of deaths resulting in 45 people per 100,000 citizens per year. The key cause of the increase in the number of road accidents in Namibia is due to the poor road infrastructure. Most drivers are unaware of the landscape and weather conditions in the area. Thus, they continue to record an increase in the number of deaths per year.
