Global Survey Results: Zimbabwe’s Position

In the study, which surveyed over 2,000 motorists worldwide, participants were asked to rate how anxious they would feel driving in specific countries.

Zimbabwe received a score of 6.9 out of 10, landing it third on the list. Venezuela came in second with a score of 6.97, while India topped the rankings with a score of 7.15.

“We also wanted to help drivers around the world stay safe on the roads,” Scrap Car Comparison explained in its report.

Reasons Behind Zimbabwe’s Ranking

The survey cited Zimbabwe’s poorly maintained rural roads as one of the major contributing factors to its high score. Although Zimbabwe’s urban roads received some praise for being relatively well-maintained, the situation in rural areas presents significant challenges for drivers.

“Roads in Zimbabwe are generally kept in good condition, particularly in big cities, however, roads in rural areas are less well maintained,” noted the report.

Additionally, the frequent fuel shortages in the country were highlighted as another source of concern for drivers.

Other African Countries in the Rankings

Morocco and Tunisia were the only other African nations to make the Top 10. Morocco was ranked fourth, while Tunisia secured the seventh spot, underscoring the shared challenges across the continent when it comes to road safety and infrastructure.
