Also road rage, lack of practical public transit options, the slap-on-the-wrist of most traffic offenses compared to other countries where it's much easier to lose your license / much more expensive to obtain a license in the first place, the lackadaisical attitude toward safety, especially w.r.t. Intoxicated operation, etc etc.

Problem is that if you lose your license in the US, it could put you out of a job and make it very hard to find another one.

People have jobs that require them to drive cars in other countries, too ;)

Isn't most of the States 55mph? (Serious question, that's the figure I remember from playing Road Rash as a kid) In the UK the limit is 70mph, most of Europe is similar and Germany has no limit on the autobahn.

Its not all about highways. Most accidents occur on local roads.

Higher speed limits??
