Or an American. My point which I mistakenly thought was self apparent is that this attitude is pretty ingrained as a core premise of American pop culture.
- listenallyall 5y agoI think you've watched way too many Fast and Furious movies. They're fiction, not a documentary. When Paul Walker actually did die from driving too fast, the universal reaction was sadness, yes, but appalled that he'd be so irresponsible, especially putting other people in danger.
- CPLX 5y agoI’m responding to this: > I can't understand why we don't have more automated highway enforcement in the US. I think the answer is because Americans have a love affair with the car and view driving fast as an expression of personal freedom. Runner up guess is that cops like pulling people over for a living.
