Arguably, this could be one of the weirdest questions I’ve ever been asked to answer during my travels.
Let me say, first of all, that I don’t mean to generalize in this sense. I’m not saying that all the inhabitants of the soon to be nominated country are bad drivers. What I mean to say is that, in my experience there, I had the worst experiences in terms of driving.
Also, I would like to point out that I’m originally from Italy so, technically, I could be considered a “bad driver” myself.
In my defense I can say that I try not to be, at least.
Growing up in Italy, though, didn’t really allow me to develop a sense of harmony and coherence in terms of my driving attitude. In my homeland, the street laws are interpreted “artistically” by its inhabitants.
Long story short, Italians drive usually like maniacs.
Thus, when I say “bad driving skills,” I’m not referring to drivers that are inclined to speeding or dangerously maneuvering their vehicles (which requires skills, in a way), but instead to people that, without the necessary awareness of their machines and its dynamics, take on the road and make their way nervously through traffic, jeopardizing everybody else and not blending in with the rest of the drivers.
One of the most controversial countries for driving in south America, for instance, is certainly Bolivia.
There were cars with no headlights or no seats or missing doors and sometimes old station wagons carrying lamas on the roof and inside the vehicle too. Busses loaded with 3-4 times the allowed capacity, roaming around the steep roads of the altiplano, struggling to go faster than 15km/h and emitting smoke darker than a Tim Burton movie.
People with no driver license, no insurance, and no clue what to do on the road. In few words, not the best country in terms of “Road Safety”.
