"In the US, much like anywhere that cars have taken hold, drivers screaming at pedestrians (and cyclists) that they are doing it wrong is a fixture of national life."
Just walking or riding down the road you get people screaming at you that you should "Get Off the Road!" At which point you are stuck wondering where the heck they want you to go! There aren't any bike lanes or sidewalks. So where? Sometimes they yell at you in the bike lane. It's insanity!
The US has become a slice of Fahrenheit 451 dystopia where it is illegal to travel without a car. (At least in the minds of 1-2% of drivers)
