Drivers do fine if the infrastructure is designed for humans rather then for cars.
The reason so many people die in US cities is because of policy, not because people can't drive inherently.
- twoWhlsGud 4y agoDriver quality in the US is much lower than in cycling hotspots like the Netherlands or Denmark. Infrastructure helps, but better drivers are critical.
- panick21_ 4y agoI think it feels that way because people just drive much faster. If you forced people to slow down, I don't think the avg quality of driver is worse.
- xnx 4y agoI don't have much international experience, but the level of distraction of US drivers is shocking. Easily 50% of drivers I see are looking at their phones (even while going through an intersection!).
