    I’m on vacation in the US atm and traffic is wild.

    The worst drivers in Europe would be better than the best drivers here.

    Everyone is constantly going 10-20 mph over the speed limit. You constantly get cut off and sometimes even pushed out of your lane. You can have your blinker on all you want, no one is ever letting you merge unlees you force your way in and yadda yadda yadda.

    In the >6000 miles I’ve driven now I have seen one automated speed camera. There is a larger police presence than in the EU but they don’t seem much interested in enforcing traffic laws.

    To any US citizen reading this: This is not meant to be rude, but you guys could have it way better and way more safe than it is currently.

      I think you might not be considering all the European countries. I was in Spain this last spring and nothing prepared me for drivers just casually rolling through long red lights.

      Very brave of you to travel to the US right now. Stay safe!
