5. The Democratic Republic of the Congo
Road fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants: 33.2
The overwhelming majority of countries that made it into the list are from Africa, and the Congo is no exception. It is a central African country, ravaged by wars and political turmoil. Africa is the least developed continent, and the citizens of Africa are paying very dearly for this. Given the small number of vehicles in comparison, the death toll from road accidents is quite high.
