Study ranks Greece among world’s scariest places to drive

·

According to a recent survey by Scrap Car Comparison, Greece ranks among the most nerve-wracking places to drive in the world. The study collected data from 2,000 drivers across ten countries, including the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, South Africa, France, Italy, and Spain, who rated their experiences driving in various nations.

According to express.co.uk, participants rated each country on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 indicating minimal nervousness and 10 indicating extreme discomfort behind the wheel.

Greece was noted for its challenging driving environment and ranked as the 23rd most intimidating country for drivers worldwide. Turkey came in 12th with a score of 6.68, while Hungary placed 15th and Italy ranked just behind Greece in 24th.

The study remarked that “Greece and Italy are known for their chaotic traffic and historic, narrow streets, which can be especially daunting for foreign drivers.”
