American drivers take awful care of their cars. bald tyres, ripped off bumpers, worn brakes, ... It's shocking coming back from (western) europe from vacation this summer, how trash the cars are on the road here. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
- Zak 4y agoI've seen it. I may have even participated in it. The difference you've observed definitely exists, but there's a big difference between: * That car looks crappy * That car looks unsafe * The kind of maintenance shortcomings present on that car are correlated with a large increase in crash rate
