00:08Learning to drive is already a nerve-wracking task, but what happens when, after passing
00:13your test, you immediately find yourself navigating congested motorways, gaping potholes and dangerous
00:19roads?
00:21Poland ranks as the most stressful European country for them, earning the highest road
00:26stress score, according to road analysts at Czech Vignette.
00:29It combines some of the highest traffic congestion levels with poor road quality and, more seriously,
00:35one of the highest road death rates at 52 per million residents.
00:40Neighbouring Czech Republic ranks second, driven by high traffic congestion and below-average
00:45road quality.
00:46The country also has one of the highest car densities in the ranking, adding further pressure
00:51on its busy roads.
00:52The rest of the top five is made up of Eastern European countries, with Romania third, followed
00:57by Greece and Bulgaria.
00:59There, roads tend to be less congested, but also get more dangerous.
01:03Romania, Greece and Bulgaria have the highest death rate on the road per million people.
01:09Italy is sixth in the overall ranking, largely due to the country's staggering car density,
01:14with nearly one vehicle registration per resident.
01:17At the other end of the spectrum, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and Spain emerged as
01:24the least stressful places to drive.
