Driving Under Pressure: CEOWORLD Identifies Global Hotspots of Learner Stress and Infrastructure Risk

New York, October 7, 2025 — CEOWORLD Magazine’s 2025 Global Learner Driver Stress Index has uncovered a striking correlation between national infrastructure quality, road safety, and economic development.
Based on a comprehensive study of road congestion, vehicle density, road fatalities, and infrastructure scores, the report ranks South Sudan as the most stressful country in which to learn driving, followed by Afghanistan and Yemen. At the opposite end, Monaco, Liechtenstein, and Luxembourg offer the safest, most structured environments for new drivers.
“Ease of mobility is a leading indicator of national competitiveness,” said Prof. Dr. Amarendra Bhushan Dhiraj, CEO and Editorial Director of CEOWORLD Magazine. “Where it’s easy to learn to drive, it’s usually easy to do business.”
The findings suggest that improving road conditions, safety regulations, and public transit infrastructure could unlock billions in untapped productivity, while reducing traffic-related deaths worldwide.
CEOWORLD’s analysis provides vital insights for governments, infrastructure investors, and policymakers, reinforcing that transportation equity is an essential pillar of sustainable economic growth.
