"Europe" is very vague when it comes to driving. Italy and Greece and all of eastern Europe have some of the worse (aggressive) driving on earth.



Anecdote: I drive in Italy at least once a year and never found it particularly bad or aggressive. I’ve driven in Greece too and also found it normal.

Data: Both are substantially safer than the US

Yeah, the US is also mixed given its size depending on where you are.

The most dangerous driving I’ve witnessed was in Jamaica and the UAE, but that was a while ago.

The US does seem somewhere in-between those and Europe/uk.
