SA ranked the 4th most dangerous place to drive
The Star
|September 18, 2025
WHEN it comes to some of the world’s most dangerous places to drive, it’s no surprise that South Africa is the fourth most challenging country.
Anyone who has spent time on our roads can attest to that, and it was recently confirmed with the World's Best Drivers Index 2025 from Compare the Market.
The study, completed in Australia, tracked 56 different countries and considered our high road deaths (17.9 per 100000 people), below-average road infrastructure quality and high levels of congestion that made our streets and highways among the most dangerous to navigate.
“The study from Compare the Market underlines that drivers should be ready for the unexpected on our roads. Unpredictable drivers, potholed roads and thundershowers are just a few of the factors that make driving in South Africa so interesting.
“There are, however, many ways to reduce these risks and empower yourself,” says Ernest North, co-founder of Naked, the car and home insurance platform.
North shared 10 tips that can assist in safer driving while running the daily gauntlet on our roads.
