I’d love to see graphs on how much people in each country drive, as you basically have to drive everywhere in the US due to unwalkable cities and no public transportation.
Critical support for America’s war on Americans? Not so sure about this one
It’s like drunk Americans waging war on America’s children. It’s a distinctly different war than America’s children’s war on America’s children and America’s war on black children. But it’s a 1/10 kind of war.
No one drives the speed limit in the UK either. You’ll normally see people going 80-ish to 90mph on motorways where the legal limit is 70.
It’s not necessarily related to road safety in general.
Honestly car size and driving under the influence probably has got more to do with this than observance of the speed limit.
Canada has the same vehicle size issue. Large pickup trucks/SUVs are similarly popular. Everyone here goes 15km/h over, unless there’s speed cameras which are only by schools.
I wouldn’t be surprised if impaired driving was a big factor, in Canada it’s the equivalent of a felony even if you don’t hit anyone. In the US it seems like people treat it closer to being a speed ticket.
What it feels like to drive 5mph under the speed limit when the person behind me is in a sports car:
Nice day, got the windows down, blasting tunes, soaking up the sun and watching the boomer behind me go from ruby to prune colored.

You ever see videos of people driving in south east Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, etc.)? My friend told me a story about riding on the back of a motorbike without a helmet. I am simply unable to drive in a place like this
Add in each of those people nearly hitting you with a 2-5 ton machine
