As a general statement it has merit. We hand out drivers licencses like candy in this country.
In Germany it'll cost you $3-4000 to get a license.
Here any 16 year old with $30 and mommy's forged signature can get a learner's permit and cause havoc.
There they go to a professional driving school, kinda like Skip Barber for the street.
Here daddy let's them learn their chops by driving to the supermarket and back.
You gotta admit we've got some bad drivers in this country.
Hell, I just got back from a week in FL. The Q-tips down there have all got one foot in the grave already and could care less if they take you out while cutting across three lanes of traffic to make a left while their turn signal is indicating a right turn.
I nearly died 10 times in 5 days.
And A LOT of Germans vaca in FL. Does not help their perception of American driving skills.
