Im not sure its an indication on how the 'americans' drive... but more
likely on how the american roads are set up. Our highways suck, very
little rail traffic etc. As he says.. 18 stop lites in 22 miles for 1
hour? Certainly isnt a reflection on the driver, but on our roads.
Where I live, in Hartford and New Haven the traffic can be backed up for
hours, due to the sucky highway. If I had to be stuck in that traffic
each day twice, I certainly wouldnt drive a standard either!
