Also, they are much more attuned to using their "Blinkers" when they move lane to lane. We are sloppy. I would never think of changing a lane in Europe and not use the turn signals. It is my opinion that drivers in Europe are much better than US drivers. Just an opinion from driving a lot in both places.
100% correct without a doubt. There are just too many inconsiderate drivers in the USA and far too many with head inserted in places hard to see from.
