This is palpable if you spend time driving in both the US and Europe. Driving in the US is much more chaotic and stressful. A small % of drivers in the US are pathological and shouldn’t be allowed to drive, but are anyway. A bigger % are on their phones while driving, which is barely enforced.

Road deaths in the United States have fallen much more slowly than in other rich countries. Most high-income countries have reduced road deaths substantially over the past decades.
