Thirty years ago, Portugal had some of the most fatal roads in Europe. It was second only to Latvia in terms of death rates from road injuries.

    Interesting to see if the number of accidents are still around the same, indicating it’s probably the cars safety. And also why the number didnt go much further down the last 5 years.

    Not to mention they had a flaming drug problem also when people were driving , and since regulated all drug legally. I’d imagine that helps too.

      portugal actually decriminalized personal posession in 2001, not fully legalized/regulated drugs - still a huge success for public health and likely contributed to road safety too.
