If you are an American and have lived in America all your life, then what we are about to say might come as a shock to you. The U.S has some of the most dangerous roads in the world. This isn’t because of tight lanes in hazardous places like you might find in India, nor is it because of terrible weather making roads slippy, like you might find in Canada. Instead, the main reason for America’s bad roads is because of the drivers and the driving culture.
We will explain why the American culture around driving has made the roads so dangerous and what other factors give the U.S such high crash statistics.
Summary

It doesn’t matter if you end up being late, as you would have avoided a terrible car accident.
