Ukraine has the lowest car ownership rate in Europe. Despite this, the death rate in road accidents in Ukraine is significantly higher than in any other EU country. This was reported by the initiative ‘For Safe Roads’.
In Europe, the average figure is 81 deaths per 1 million cars, while the average level of motorisation is 567 cars per 1,000 inhabitants. In Ukraine, this figure is 418 deaths with 245 cars per thousand people. That is, the probability of dying in a road accident in Ukraine is five times higher than in the EU.
