    I would imagine worldwide figures would vary a hell of a lot!

    As would whatever you define a journey - a trip to the shops or a journey to Cork (from Letterkenny!)?

    Wow Ireland has twice the number of fatalities as the UK, and Lithuania and Latvia have twice the number of fatalities as Ireland :eek:

    Road fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants
    Great Britain 5.4
    Ireland 9.3
    Lithuania 22.3
    Latvia 17.74

    You often hear Polish boardsies telling how many lessons they have to take before they get a license, their fatalities are 50% than those in Ireland :eek:

    Poland 13.8
