Why can't Americans drive?

Seriously. I left my car for 12 minutes to go to the store. I come back and someone left a note telling me someone hit my car. While I was reading the note. Someone else hit my car! And left like ain't **** happened! This is the most spacious parking lot I've ever been to.

    Some can, most can't. Sorry. Driving here in USA is almost an entitlement. The government gets its fee and only extreme dangerous driving results in privileges being revoked.

    I was struck while crossing the street in the marked pedestrian crosswalk, and flew through the air! The driver didn't even want to stop. I was left laying in the middle of a street that suddenly had 60 mph (100 km/h) traffic zooming by about 3 feet away, and nobody even stopped! The guy called police and made up a big lie, which was uncovered. I needed abdominal surgery. In the courtroom, the city prosecuting attorney asked me if I would drop my complaint, because the 22 year old had a good driving record!

    I've been in Europe and driving is quite different.

    The intelligence of Americans has dropped significantly since I was young, while their selfishness has increased dramatically.

    Sometimes I wonder. I don't know if it is because they are Americans because one does not have to be American to drive here. The classes don't teach the things they used to. Like the far left lane is for passing. I see people on the expressway in the left lane doing 65 mph and think because it is clear for as far as the eye can see that it is OK. They are not looking back at the mile of cars behind them that can not get by.

    So, with your sample group of two, now 300 millions can't drive? I think you need to work on your statistics.

    OK, it's probable that only about 150 millions are actually licensed drivers, and that is a WAG.

    Man if you think parking in the states is the worst, try living in Korea and having your skyline side swiped every time you park on the side of the road. Wasn't even worth putting money in to get it checked out.

    Source(s): There are worse places but yes, the US in some states can be pretty bad.

    Maybe it was the same guy, a sort of show-and-tell. Or "Sometimes things happen in the oddest ways" * It does have a peculiar look about it.

    It could also be you were in a place no sane man would go & let alone park.
