There is one driving around near where I live in Amsterdam as well.

I am quite tall, even for Dutch standards, but the hood reaches my shoulder easily. It also drives around quite a busy neighbourhood. So I expect this specific car to kill someone within the next 5 years or so.

There are much more dangerous vehicles around on European roads, such as most buses, trams and lorries.

Those tend to have no bonnets. So there are some risks and accidents still, but in general they do have better visibility.

And professional drivers.

They get paid for what they do, their "profession". Most of them are not particularly good ;)

		Don't they also need special driver licences, which can have more stringent rules?

		That may be true, but on average I would expect them to be better drivers than the pick-up-in-the-inner-city crowd, whose choices are already off to a poor start before they turn the ignition key, after all, they picked the wrong vehicle for the surroundings.
