  1. America has some of the least safe driving in the western world despite lower speeds. This contributes.

  2. @DexMaster881  The inspection is not that rigourous. Brakes, emissions, steering, suspension and body integrity, that's about it. If you can't afford that, you can't afford to eat all those McDonald's either. It's no excuse and is rather an arrogant viewpoint that only Americans drive to work

  3. @automation7295  There's nothing wrong with having old cars, but don't you think that on order to use them, they ought to be ROADWORTHY?

  4. @blahmcblahface3965 US accident rate per 100k is TWICE as high as UK DESPITE the US having low speed limits.

  5. @Mattlawton-ft6ew  The US has an obsession with "bang for the buck" over quality, so virtually everything they make is cheap and nasty.

  6. @Vectorspace000  Ensuring it yourself is marking your own homework, hence why American cars are such ancient wrecks. Also, many of their pickups don't even require an emissions test.

  7. @AT-nq6cu  Household appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines are terribly low quality in the US. US cars have incredibly cheap interiors made with low grade plastic and have shoddy cheap steel on the exterior. I had a Dodge Challenger in Texas and the hood rippled at 70mph. American food is the lowest quality on the western world. There's a good reason why a lot of American goods are not exported. American made Tesla are lower quality than the Chinese made Tesla.

  8. @automation7295  A lot of the time what other people do in their countries affects others in other countries. We had an American in the UK who killed a young lad because she drove on the wrong side.

  9. @Hiforest  No you don't. You only have to contact the police if you are unable to exchange details at the scene. This is from the Metropolitan Police website. Police don't have time or resources to record every incident.

  10. @Hiforest  Then you've been misinformed.

  11. What we could also do with is an annual insurance test to ensure your car has not been modified in a vulgar way which invalidates your insurance. Plus if you have a skin fade, white trainers or a tracksuit your insurance should be tripled.

  12. @Hiforest  We don't have to report incidences either. If two people have an incident they can just sort it out between themselves. Police and authorities don't have to be told.

  13.  @Hiforest  Hopefully you never will. Police are useless so I'd never rely on them for anything.

  15. No wonder the USA has some of the worst driving statistics in the western world.
