Washington: India, at 49th place, has been listed the third most dangerous country to drive, according to a report by a US-based driver training company based on research in 53 countries.
According to the report, the report has been released by Zutobi.com, the international driver’s education company with courses in multiple countries.
South Africa has been named the world’s most dangerous country to drive in the annual report.
For the fourth year in a row, Norway is the safest country in the world for driving, while South Africa maintained its last position in the list for the second consecutive year.
The Zutobi statement said it analysed countries based on indicators including motorway speed limits, blood alcohol concentration limits for drivers and road traffic death rates, to determine the world’s safest and most dangerous countries to drive.
The average number of estimated road traffic deaths per 1,00,000 across all countries has decreased since the previous year from 8.9 to 6.3, while there has been no change in national speed limits and blood alcohol concentration limits in each country, it said.
