Americans are bad drivers! (school, live, move to)

[NJ-201]

Most people in the U.S.:

* Don't use turn signals most of the time
* Lazy
* Talk on phone when not allowed
* Drive too fast
* Play "games" on the highway, by switching lines for no reason
* Don't keep their headlights on during precipitation
* Drives fast, then slows down when they see a police
* Never full stop on a stop-sign
* Never yield to anyone

99% of the cars in North America are automatic transmission, so we don't have to switch and shift on trandmission, so why not use turn signals and fallow all rules?! In Europe, most cars are manual transmission, so people are busy with shifting and switching, but people still drive much better, fallow the rules and use their turn signals all the time!

What else? Please add more!

I've notice that everyone is angry behind the wheel. Always rushing to get to God know where. People, really, leave an extra 20 mins, so you don't have to drive 65 in a school zone.

Gimmee a break about this wonderful European driving! They drive like maniacs, at least in the parts where I was. They're always on their cell phones, even when they're riding a bike! Also, they smoke all the time, which is surely a distraction when driving a car. I don't know about the higher ratio of stick shift cars; I think the car we rented was an automatic.

Eeny meeny miney mole... I think I smell the smell of a troll...

Everyone drives horribly everywhere, these lists of driving annoyances are getting old. Let's all just accept the motto that "the only one that doesn't drive like a moron is me"

Lots of Americans are bad drivers.... but my God...

I was in France a month ago and nearly crapped my pants during one cab ride. Terrifying.

Such generalizations don't hold weight. There are lousy and good drivers everywhere. Much depends on where you live, what kind of car you drive, whether you enjoy driving, whether you love driving your car, and so forth. It's not all bad in the US.
