In a post last September we itemised the changes in the new Highway Code which aim to improve driver discipline and reduce the number of fatalities on Greek roads. Just how effective the new measures will be in reducing accidents remains to be seen, especially locally. While according to the president of the Heraklion-based Voluntary Association for the Prevention of Road Accidents, Giannis Lionakis, Crete had its best ever year for road accidents in 2025, the Nomos of Chania remains responsible for 35% of accidents on the island. Moreover reports of a drunken driver crashing into parked cars waiting to collect children from a Chania primary school yesterday (25^th January) suggest that much work needs to be done on changing the local driving culture.
