Werner, You said: " generally, the USA has a much higher accident/fatality rate, but that is mostly due to the negligent way the states parcel out driver's licenses....."
I couldn't agree with you more. Just this morning I was almost taken out by some woman in her SUV who blew a stop sign, Although to be fair she was busy on her phone at the time. Then she gave me a dirty look for interupting her day ! How I wish there were some way to get some REAL drivers training introduced here. Matt Claus
