      Some Europeans drive dangerously while expecting others to follow the rules. From driving under the influence, to speeding, using a phone, and failing to buckle up, a considerable number of drivers across the continent hypocritically admit to engaging in some seriously bad behaviour on a regular basis.

      The analysis, conducted by Motointegrator together with the research experts at [DataPulse Research](https://www.datapulse.de/), coincides with the United Nations’ Global Forum for Road Safety, which took place in late September in Geneva.

      To find the worst offenders, the analytics team extracted survey data from 22 country-level reports published by the Brussels-based Vias Institute. The surveys, which were conducted in 2023 and made public in 2024, ask 37,000 road users about how tolerant they are of seven bad driving behaviours, and also ask drivers whether they commit those acts themselves. The analytics team calculated a “hypocrisy score” for each country, accounting for the share of people who find the behaviours unacceptable, the share of drivers who admit to doing them, and how dangerous each behaviour is.

      I can understand 50% speeding and 23% reading a phone.

      But 11% drunk driving and 18% not securing children in the last month WTF.

      Like always, the information for Luxembourg is extremely misleading due to the big amount of cross-border workers skewing the data.

      The hypocrisy goes deeper than that. I looked at OP’s source… it’s a source that says 19% of Belgians admit to drunk driving? Ha, pathetic.

      Take [this article](https://www.rtbf.be/article/conduire-en-etat-d-ebriete-une-pratique-courante-en-wallonie-11386993) (June 2024). Second paragraph.

      >A survey by the AWSR reveals that only 42% of Walloon motorists completely abstain from alcohol before driving. The usual justifications, such as “I haven’t had much to drink” (used by 56% of drivers) and “It’s just one drink” (37%), minimise the real risks. Even a single drink increases the risk of an accident by up to three times.

      56%, not just 19, once you remove that layer of mental gymnastics.

      Does ‘speeding’ mean ‘driving above the posted speed limit’? If so, I’m surprised that it’s only 50%. I’ve driven in numerous countries and it seems like overdoing the speed limit by about 10 is pretty much standard behavior everywhere.

      I find it crazy that 11% of people admitted to driving drunk in the last 30 days and still, nothing happened.
