Believe me , driving a long distance on a motorway induces boredom

Actually, they do seem to (or at least, UK motorways are demonstrably
safer than those elsewhere, which is consistent with the view that
they do):http://www.safespeed.org.uk/international3.html

Doubt that has much to do with the straightness or otherwise of the
motorways since AFAIK in most countries most road fatalities happen on
suburban streets. Also I can't imagine portugal being the land of
straight high speed roads though I've never been there so maybe it is.

That was a table of motorway fatalities, not road fatalities.
