In France a workplace accident is an accident that happens during the work hours, on the work place. If your work requires you driving it is a workplace accident, but only on the work hours. If you are driving back home or driving to the restaurant for your meal it is not an other type of accident.
I don’t know for other countries.
In Italy is considered an accident at work if it occurs in the 30 minutes or an hour (it depends on the distance) before the start of working hours and in the 30 minutes or an hour (again, the distance) after the end of working hours, but only on the way between the workplace and home. Anyway, it could not be considered as a work accident if you could have used a bike or public transport, but you have a car accident. Insurance company are quite powerful here, as you can see.
