Czech roads - global disaster

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development published the list of the world's worst roads (Czech roads - global disaster on tn.cz). Czech roads ended as the nineth worst in the list.
Russia, Slovakia, Poland and Turkey are in the top of the list with the highest number of accidents per million inhabitants.

According to the survey USA, Greece are even worse then Czech Republic.

Czech wages rose by one percent in Q1

The real wage (compared to inflation) grew by about 1%.

Average gross monthly wage is 22,328 CZK

Czech Republic is between top 20 most peaceful countries

Czech Republic is between the most peaceful countries in the world.
Global Peace Index 2009 ranks the Czech Republic as 11th the most peaceful country in the World. It follows New Zeland, Scandinavian countries, Japan, Austria and Canada.

In my opinion the index missed very imortant aspect which is safety on roads. Czech roads are between the most dangerous roads in the world in accordance with the latest research of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The quality of roads is reasonable in the Czech Republic but the number of accidents per inhabitant is very high due to other reasons, for example, the way of driving, ignorance of traffic rools and quality of cars.
