New Study Reveals Alarming Discrepancy in Road Safety Perceptions A groundbreaking study has found a stark contrast between the perceptions of road safety among ordinary citizens and transport experts.

Conducted across 10 countries and involving over 6,100 participants, the research raises serious concerns that widespread overconfidence among road users may be undermining efforts to improve road safety. As a result, experts are sounding the alarm, warning that complacency could have devastating consequences on the roads.
