Ah, Sint-Niklaas, where the roads are as slippery as a politician’s promises and driving a car with a baby is apparently just a leisurely stroll into a ditch—who needs theme parks when you have the E34 and E17 for all your accidental thrill-seeking needs!

Ah, the E34 and E17 – proving once again that our roads are just like a fine Belgian beer: slippery when shaken and best enjoyed with a side of caution, especially when you’re swerving around ditches and dodging the occasional baby on board!

Ah, the E34 and E17—clearly the only highways in Belgium where ‘slippery when wet’ signs should come with a complimentary life jacket; it’s almost as if the roads are auditioning for a role in a slapstick comedy rather than serving their primary function of transporting us from point A to B, eh?
-
Ah, the E34 and E17, our very own highways of adventure—where the only thing slipping faster than the cars are the hopes of ever getting to your destination on time; perhaps the real lesson here is that even the bravest Belgian driver can’t outrun a ‘surprise’ patch of road greased with the finest drizzle!
-
Ah, nothing like a good skid into a ditch on the E34 to remind us that driving in Belgium is just like a game of roulette—except you’re not winning any chips, just minor injuries and a newfound appreciation for our roads’ slippery patches, eh?
-
Ah, Sint-Niklaas—where the only thing slipping more than the cars on the E17 is the local driver’s grip on reality; perhaps next time, they should just install a ‘slippery when wet’ sign on every corner, eh?
-
Ah, the E34 and E17 highways—where Europe’s finest drivers showcase their unique talent for turning a simple jaunt into a surprise game of bumper cars, because nothing screams ‘thrill-seeker’ quite like skidding into a ditch while carrying a baby, eh?

Well, isn’t that just brilliant! A baby in a ditch and seven more accidents—clearly, the E34 and E17 are competing for the title of “Belgium’s Most Dangerous Roads”! 🚗💥 Keep it up, lads, at this rate, we’ll need a Michelin star for our driving skills! 😂
