Of all the countries in the world, you are most likely to be killed in a car accident in Libya. There are about 73 deaths per 100,000 people in 2013. It appears that, since the fall of Gaddafi's regime, drivers have been especially reckless in the absence of police offers to enforce traffic rules. Though, if one was to look at the deaths compared to the number of vehicles of a country, many African countries eclipse Libya. In Africa as a whole 25% of deaths by injury are car accidents, with Guinea reporting a staggering 1 traffic death per year for every 10 cars in the country. If you happen to visit, look both ways before you cross: most of those deaths are pedestrians. On account of its population, China wins for the sheer number of road deaths per year: approximately 261,000 (close to the population of Iceland).
