rank | Tue Jul 14 21:09:56 I couldnt believe it when I asked my American friend who comes from a car building family, to help me move some stuff. Sure, no problem - cept he cant drive a manual car. I was shocked because nobody in Europe that has a driving licence can only drive automatic cars, but he told me this was quite common in the US. Googling also seemed to confirm that. Also, Google says that the US has by far more car accidents per capita than European countries. Watching an American on Youtube who took a European licence because he cant drive manual cars and he says his american driving test and traffic rules knowledge was a joke in comparison. He says they need to give licences to everyone in the USA, almost irrespective of how bad they drive, because acceptable public transport doesnt exist and so every American is fucked without a car. Oh, Im shocked. |

"By traffic deaths per capita Country Road deaths per 100,000 people (approx.) United States ~14 Australia ~4.5 Germany ~3.3 United Kingdom ~2.4 Sweden ~2.2 Norway ~1.5 etc |

However: "Bottom line Fatal crash risk: The United States is significantly more dangerous—about 3—4× the road death rate of Italy. Minor accidents: Italy may have relatively high rates of fender-benders and urban collisions, but these are generally less severe. Overall road safety: Italy is considered substantially safer than the U.S. in terms of the risk of being killed in a traffic accident. |

rank | Tue Jul 14 21:35:58 "cant drive a manual car." Why would we possibly learn how to drive ancient technology? Lol you guys can't afford modern cars? But ya the US needs to work on road safety. Fortunately we generally relegate the deaths to poor people in little cars but still there's some obvious work that needs to be done. |

rank | Tue Jul 14 21:40:21 "Why would we possibly learn..." Because you have, from an international perspective, shockingly ignorant drivers that cause huge amounts of lethal accidents compared to developed countries? |

rank | Tue Jul 14 22:16:01 American car deaths are higher because huge portions of the population are travelling constantly at freeway speeds (70+ MPH/112 KPH). So when crashes happen there, they are far more destructive. Europeans don't spend nearly as much time traveling at those types of speeds. |

rank | Tue Jul 14 22:23:58 "I need a machine to do that for me" Yep. I also have a machine to wash my dishes and dry my clothes and cool my house. You know, modern technology that even US plebs can afford. The primitiveness of the manual transmission is even more outdated as everyone with even a little money is buying fancy EVs that don't even have transmissions. The US is a large place with a huge variety of driving skill. Boston drivers are better than anyone in Europe. Seattle drivers are the worst on the entire fucking planet(except asian women of course). The biggest problem in the US is road design. We have a lot of high speed roads that intersect with other high speed roads and most retarded of all, the undivided 70 mph rural road, which is insanely stupid. |

Sam Adams
rank | Tue Jul 14 22:31:07 70mph on a modern divided interstate highway is very safe. It's the undivided high speed road and the medium-high speed intersection you have to watch out for. The intersection issue is hard to solve. The undivided issue is pure idiocy on the part of road designers. |

rank | Tue Jul 14 23:47:16 Habebe, why is it you dont understand any words you use? Its impossibly stupid to have much more traffic fatalities than Europeans and chalk it up to you being - somehow - superior. Mindboggling lack of basic ability to analyse the real world. |

rank | Wed Jul 15 02:07:20 The fact that you dont even get that thinking the state secretly sneaked into your bedroom and inserted a transmitter into your incredibly important head through which it whispers to you is a very serious mental condition tells us that youre just utterly lost in mental illness. You absolutely need to seek serious healthcare. |

rank | Wed Jul 15 02:11:51 Btw, how did you manage to get 2 warnings and then get fired within weeks of starting your new job??? Ive never received one single warning in my life, let alone 2 in a few weeks followed by getting fired, so I cant fathom how you pulled that off, but you must have been a disaster. |
