In a global assessment by Zutobi, a renowned US-based driver's education company, South Africa emerged as the world's most perilous country for motorists.

The alarming report placed India and the United States in similarly unfavorable rankings, listed among the top three most dangerous nations for drivers.

Despite South Africa's troubling position, Norway stood out as the safest country for driving for the fourth consecutive year.

Key factors such as traffic law enforcement, speed limits, and alcohol concentration were analyzed to determine the countries' rankings.
