I disagree, I think America in particular does like to shrug off car violence. It depends on where you live, but a consistently negligent driver can rack up 10 speeding tickets and barely get a slap on the wrist. Vehicular manslaughter charges often become minor misdemeanors if the person is "nice" enough. Regulations are lax to the point that elderly people are assumed to be competent drivers even as they descend into legal blindness. But most people are used to this status quo and shrug it off, we're addicted to car ownership at all costs.
