Nicht schlecht, Zypern. Nicht schlecht.

Maybe the traffic got so bad that cars are not able to go fast enough to crash any more

That’s only about one part of Cyprus. In the North, we have exactly the contrary development. Plus 62% road deaths.

Low hanging fruit

Didn’t realise that many Cypriots moved to Ireland

The Taxi Mafia problem (no apps, only cash, ridiculous pricing) does not contribute in solving that problem.

There is a massive issue on Irish motorways, especially the M1 and M50 where it seems the overtaking lane is the only lane 99.9% of the traffic use, then on top of that you have cars that sit on their bumper trying to push them along or get them to move in just so they can move up a space, then you have those who feel that a highly illegal undertaking manoeuvre is the right thing to do to get past the traffic, then you have the lorry drivers that take 2 miles to get past each other, then you have the same 99.9% paying more attention to their phones than what’s going on ahead of them, then you have the rubberneckers who slow down to 60kph to see the accident that has just happened on the other side of the carriageway. All of the above with next to no traffic cops is likely most of the reason for the serious amount of accidents on Irish roads. Absolute death traps. I got caught behind someone once who just sat in the overtaking lane with no traffic in front of her for miles, and no traffic on the inside lane either, she just sat there at 70kph and even with me flashing my lights to ask her to move in and let me past, no absolutely no chance, the closest I have ever come to roadrage.
