I’m living in Poland which is known for notoriously hard driving exam (only one in three candidates pass on first try, you can fail exam at any time if examinator thinks you aren’t aware of cars surroundings). I’ve passed mine on sixth attempt. We are also no. 2 most deadly country to drive in in EU. Harder exams don’t improve road safety. Brutal penalties also don’t improve safety. Looking at my country road safety is propably 1/3 infrastructure (awful road surface, bike lanes sandwiched between regular speed car lanes, 3-lane wide roads that require you to go from one edge lane to other on short distance to get to target) and 2/3 shitty driving culture. Because its very hard and rare to be caught by police for dangerous driving (and there are plenty of yotube videos of police just ignoring dangerous driving or doing it themselves), people here are conditioned to drive in alternative and dangerous way. A saying goes that real drivers ed. starts when you are alone in your own car. And if you are fresh after exam and trying to drive legit, you will also be conditioned to drive shitty because alternative to not exceeding the speed limit yourself is having somebody else speeding drive into back of your car. Running red light (called „late orange”) is also very common, and despite there being cameras on most of crossroads, those are used only to measure traffic and not for ticketing. People force their way in traffic because yielding way to car that wants to change lane is very rare and considered dumb. When people are stopped by police, they dismiss it as bad luck. People only follow the limits when there is automated system in area for ticketing. Because they know there is no way to cheat the system. Top app on Google Play is Janosik (named after polish Robin Hood countrpart) - navigation app that has warnings about speed cameras, police patrol routes and speed controls.
