Uh, no. I lived in Belgium for almost eight years, and I drove in many European countries over the years.
In every single country I drove in, they are much worse than the average American driver. In some places, like Paris and Rome, they are much, much worse. I managed to survive in Paris and Rome, but only barely.
To this day, when driving in the US, I hold this knowledge in reserve, for those rare times when I do need to be more aggressive and “Drive Belgian”.

- Arnt 5y agoYou barely survived, you say. Two weeks ago I was in Italy, in one of the big cities, on a very heavily loaded cargo bike, and I made a mistake in a roundabout. Almost took the wrong exit and corrected too late. No problem — a car driver I cut off seemed to know the mistake before I did and slowed down to make space for me just in case. If that's worse then the US, then the US must be heaven for cyclists.
