^^ I disagree.
On my recent trips to the US, drive over to Wisconsin, and drive down to Mid-Ohio, I found the Americans to be tons better drives than those here in Ontario. In the US I was able to relax in traffic, here in Toronto I have to look out for idiots all the time.
Heck, you cross the border from Buffalo to Ontario, and you almost immediately see a change in the way people drive.
That isn't to say I haven't come across an idiot in the US, those are a dime a dozen, I just find they have more courtesy on the highways.
A good example would be the lack of a merging lane for a lot of the highways I was on. If people saw someone coming onto the highway, they would change lanes to give them space. In Ontario, even with the merge lane, people just sit next to you and block you. I've had people slow down and accellerate with me, purposely blocking me.
Edit: And what I hate most is truck drivers. If one is going faster than the other, even by as little as 1 km/h, they'll pull out infront of you and pass the other truck, even if it takes them 100 km to do it. That pisses me off. They should just save their gas and draft behind the other one.
