I find American drivers are chill compared to Germans.

I haven't been nearly killed by a German driver yet, and on purpose, and German drivers had many more opportunities to do so than American ones. But yeah, my impressions are of course only anecdotal, but then again, 100% verified from my perspective.

Autobahn-driving can definitely be nerve-wracking if you're not used to it, being flashed to change lanes when you're already doing over 150 k/h is quite disconcerting to say the least! But there is at least a system to it, and on regular roads Germans seem to drive pretty sensibly.

American people seem aggressive in general, and I say that as one. I didn't realize how bad it was until I finally went on a vacation overseas. I don't know if it's something in the water or what.

Ive lived around the country and the driving culture varies significantly from region to region. East Coast cities are the worst, whereas I find Seattle, where I live now, very east going. Having moved from the east coast, it shocked me to see drivers just stop for pedestrians, even outside of marked off crosswalks. Try that in NY and you’re dead.

I saw the same thing in Europe, southern Italy was very chaotic roads compared to Northern Italy.

In Seattle all unmarked intersections are crosswalks & pedestrians waiting to cross have right of way.

Italians can't drive.

Every other nation in Europe manages to keep the car between the white lines, Italians can't even manage it when parking.

As a counterpoint I’m an Australian living in the Bay Area and drivers here are more considerate than back home. In law abiding Melbourne where I grew up, drivers will happy run you over if you’re jay walking because they supposedly have right of way.
