Be it Germany, France or any other EU country: the number of deaths caused by accidents has been highest on rural roads for decades. Even though, according to various studies, road users feel safer on rural roads than in the city or on the motorway. The main causes for serious accidents are speeding, obstacles at the roadside, risky overtaking manoeuvres as well as blind bends, junctions and intersections.
