UK roads ranked 16th in Europe
The UK has been ranked just 16th in a survey of the best countries in Europe to drive in. While fourth in safety, congestion and cost of petrol meant the UK finished well down the list.
German was ranked first, finishing in the top 10 for safety and road quality, and in the top five for road length.
Iceland has ranked as the worst country to drive in in Europe, due to it having the most vehicles per 1,000 people, indicating busy roads and the second-highest petrol costs. It also finished in the middle of the table for factors such as safety and quality of road.
This is according to Dayinsure, which combined multiple data sets including road fatalities per 100,000 people, quality of the roads, vehicles per 1,000 people, maximum speed, road length and cost of petrol.
Dayinsure said, ‘Road trips in Europe are always an attractive prospect but finding out exactly which countries are the best to drive in can be hard as there are so many contributing factors to consider. Our latest research worked to uncover which country comes out on top when considering a wide range of information helping drivers across the continent to make informed decisions about where to enjoy their next road trip.’
