That in dozens of countries all over the world, drivers are far more reckless and laws basically don't exist on the road; no lanes, no speed limits. I wasn't talking about how "good" they are. I'm living in Buenos Aires right now are the drivers here are incredible. They're also very dangerous. Sometimes it goes hand in hand through experience. So to sum things up..yes drivers in are the U.S. are lax in manners, politeness, yes, also "road rage" and competence as well. That was exactly my point bud.

Interesting comment. US drivers are lax in what? Driving competence or manners and politeness? While I agree that US driver are not as good as lets say German drivers, but if you have ever driven in Italy (notably Rome), Greece (Athens), Mexico, Central America, even Puerto Rico, you can't but agree that in many parts of the world, drivers are reckless, unsafe and dangerous.
