It still is much worse than most of Europe except Greece which just qualified in the last decade as a developed country for road infrastructure. From my personal experience, the average American driver seems to have a frighteningly low driving ability coupled with a surprising self-confidence; and I've seen more road rage in 6 weeks in the US than in 40 years in Europe (apparently tendency to reckless driving is proportional to distance from the Ocean, too; Californians seem reasonable enough). There are probably lots of progress to be made in teaching and punishing there.
