Very true about the States. My first time behind the wheel of a car on a public road was on the end of a motorway to nowhere, because that stretch of road was wide with large curve radii, had no cross traffic or oncoming traffic, and was relatively lightly traveled (it was brand new at the time and the last couple of miles were built through rural areas in anticipation of future demand for roads into the city.) -- David J.
