[graysblue]

listed below are figures based on foreign driver reported accidents up to 2006,of course this figures has risen again i have no doubt.

nationality.........year..........crashes..................year..............crashes
lithuania............2001............1........................2006.............745
slovakia.............2001...........22.......................2006.............462
latvia................2001...........11.......................2006.............96
poland...............2001.........361.......................2006...........3.132
estonia..............2001..........28........................2006.............99

slovenai.............2001...........68......................2006.............206
romania.............2001..........76.......................2006.............227

no idea how many of these were fatal i presume quite a few,with the carnage on tHe M6 caused by a portugese driver its time the goverment started protecting its own citizens.

love to know the stats for african drivers.

I think we should promote Lithuanian drivers.

they have been entered into "death race 2008"

National drivers might provide some context too don't you think?

In just one year, my wife literally smashed the Lithuanian record of 2001 on her own!! Obviously Lithuania have improved their hit rate since then.

last week or so driving around in grays which i have totalled 50 miles the following has occured.

watched the car park shut
nearly cleaned out at the treacle mine roundabout by a black guy as he just crossed right into my lane.

and here is the best one.

lodge lane is strictly 30mph and NO overtaking with traffic islands every 300 yards.

little smart car roared past me forcing me to take evasive action as the island approached,oh yes driven by one of our cousins.

how many cousins do we have?

 

[graysblue]

how many cousins do we have?

in grays there are lots.

 

[Nobby Snide]

do we have the same stats for 'ethnic british' drivers over the same period?
where did you obtain these particular figures from?

 

[Nobby Snide]

are the figures only car drivers or are they 'commercial' drivers supplying goods?

 

[Nobby Snide]

Do I also assume that there are no stats for 'western european' drivers?

 

[South Bank Hank]

I was almost forced off the road last week by an elderly white male in a Volvo who didn't check his mirrors and, quite frankly, I don't know what this country is coming too. And my journey only totaled two miles!

He had the cheek to raise his quintessentially English hand in apology too.

Rude ****er!

on the net mate.

I see your point. That's deeply humiliating. A Smart car?

Hmmm, I don't think thats an entirely accurate list there, I presume, like spanishshrimper that reflects eastern europe only?

On the subject, there is a road near Le Paz in Bolivia called The Road of Death, which averages 100 deaths a year!!! On my world travels last year I was fooled into giving a bike and told to cycle down it. Possibly the one of the scariest things I've ever done.
