Can someone chime in and clarify as to why Portugal is in the top 3? I thought they were a honorary Baltic country.
- Curious too, I've never driven there

Belgium is definitely accurate
- Belgium should be an even darker shade of red. Everytime I go there the driving is awful. You sknow the second you crossed the border. It's ridiculous.
  
  It's really awful

yeah from my experience it looks pretty accurate (FR, DE, ES, IT, CH, BE, LU, AT)
- Well, for Spain... which roads? Carreteras Nacionales? Autopistas? Autovías? The general connectivity of the road network? Because in Spain all of the vary a lot by area, and we have a ton of shit roads.
  
  Autopistas and Autovías are excellent. The question is for how long? Spain has build too many roads (most per capita in Europe) and is running out of money for maintenance. Tolls are getting reintroduced this year to try and cover the cost.
  
  Feel free to join !esp@lemm.ee, trying to get more Spanish speakers there
- German Autobahn is all fun and games... until you come near a bridge.

Wow.. if I look at the difference between the netherlands, Belgium and Germany and knowing the roads in Romania.. this is on logarithmic scale?
Also turkey and Portugal surprise me... A lot actually.

Agree with others here, pretty accurate. Icelandic roads suck, especially in Reykjavík.
- Unless you like hydroplaning, then it's excellent!

UK scoring way too high there. It's pothole city round here.

Lithuania should be way lower

Why is the scale from 2.5 to 6.49? This anoys me way to much.
- I don't know either, probably some internal methodology reason. They could have converted it to 0 to 10 indeed.
