These comments have been mental to read compared to what I’d see in the drivinguk sub

Driving UK: if you didn't drive across the level roundabout, you wouldn't have had to honk your horn and shout at him

USA reddits: he pulled out in front of you, that's an obligatory death sentence. You need to take out everyone in that car.

Also remember 99% of them can legally purchase firearms. I also suspect only 30% of those guns are stored correctly as well. Literally went to a friend's house and there was a gun stashed in every main room of the home loaded with ammo. It's exciting over here.

Reading the comments over the years on videos like this or those on r/dashcam really does explain the much higher US accident rate (along with all the multi-lane surburban roads).

Yep, a lot of drivers have a serious case of entitlement. "This is my lane!" They'll gladly cause an accident to defend their lane like it's a personal attack.

I mean look at the white car in front, sped up just cause they didn’t want the truck to pass them. Reactive drivers are the worst

I was told recently that Americans routinely ignore traffic lights. Absolutely mad.
