So, your experience in Australia, applies to a city that has a population of 870,000 residents, and a total daytime population of over 2,000,000 all in a 46 square mile area, also with nearly every single intersection controlled in some fashion - no joke, pretty much every intersection has a stop sign or signal lights. So based on this you give us your throw-away "3 second gap" comment, helpfully telling us that this is the law and something something emergency stop etc drive safe? With an average speed of less than 10mph, and a very dense city, your normal traffic "rules" don't apply here. Don't even pretend you can understand how things are here without experiencing them.

Your post essentially means "it's okay to hit people sometimes; our city wouldn't work otherwise".

  > Your post essentially means "it's okay to hit people sometimes; our city wouldn't work otherwise". This is trivially true! Otherwise cars would not be allowed on public roads. When it comes to cars, it's always about tradeoffs and acceptable risk.
