1 year agoAre you talking about usa? Bc it is the same in many countries but they usually don’t deal with such a big amount of terrible drivers (ain’t saying that to “usa bad” talk, just my pov)
Honestly - due to stereotypes. But logically thinking I’d say that most driving routes aren’t very complicated in US when compared to European countries according to what I’ve seen in movies, dash cam videos and etc. Also IIRC most people in US live outside big cities: like in smaller towns so they mostly drive on interstates or small streets (nothing complicated). See the stop sign? Stop’n’go. Red light? Stop. Green? Go.
I’m from Russia (many bad drivers here too so I won’t say anything bad about us haha) but in Europe it’s pretty close: many roundabouts, sometimes complicated road markings, denouements even in small cities. Streets of American cities are also engineered in simpler way: there are square blocks of houses with perpendicular intersections . So drivers simply don’t need that much rules and tend to fail in simpler situations when compared to European country when you deal with some over engineered sh.t.
