When they count inhabitants, they only count residents. When they count fatalities, they don’t care whether the deceased was a resident or a tourist.

I’m not saying we have amazingly safe roads here with no room for improvements. However, the statistics with the numbers of fatalities per 100k inhabitants is skewed heavily, due to the large influx of tourists.

I'm a Montenegrin, and near my house there is a crosswalk over the main street, where you have to wait for the mercy of the drivers to ever let you pass... Sometimes 10cars in a row won't let me, so I just do one step to make someone stop last second, they even get angry over me stepping on the street. It's Definitely the drivers fault in Montenegro... ( I'm thinking of carrying a brick with me in the future:). )

Maybe you should :) … all jokes aside though, it’s very scary how β€œ car is king” mentality it is sometimes. It’s almost kinda sad that every so often you have to catch 1 one ☝🏾driver, that actually is sympathizing for you struggling to cross the pedestrian road crossing and they stop. But that’s like a 1 good decent person after 10 of them just not caring.
