That's to be expected given the large difference between the regions, but the comparison still hold if you compare the more urbanised Nord département to Flanders. Nord is on paar with Noord-Brabant however, on the other side of Flanders. IMO there is no question that Flemish roads (I don't know Wallonia much) are less safe than French roads. Eurostat shows that quite well: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/RCI/#?vis=nuts1.transport&lang=en https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/RCI/#?vis=nuts1.transpor...
