  Interestingly, the UK doesn't have these laws and has lower deaths per passenger mile.

  Just a warning for those visiting the US - crosswalks will only give you a false sense of security in many parts of the the country (bigger cities possibly excepted), many drivers pay 0 attention to them. Had a car narrowly miss me last week in a crosswalk, and honked at me as it whizzed by. I've never witnessed any enforcement of these kinds of violations against the drivers, either.

    Honking could also mean "I'm sorry." When you're locked in a car, you have very limited forms of expression...

      I really wish cars came with PA systems installed. There are so many situations I encounter every day where it'd be useful: - "Turn on your lights" - "Move over" - "Thanks" - "Sorry" - (incoherent obscenities) - "Have a nice day" I'm seriously considering picking up some programmable LED sign and wiring these sorts of messages to buttons I can press while driving.

        This is one of the many things I miss from cycling when driving a car: being able to just match speeds with someone else and hold a conversation over something that happened.
