> I agree that it’s a hard pill to swallow especially if you are US American.

Can you point me to countries that don't deflect agency in accident reporting?

Here's a headline from just today in the UK:

> Man airlifted to hospital after pedestrian hit

First line in of the story:

> A man has been airlifted to hospital after a vehicle hit a pedestrian.





You are right, it’s an international problem.

But from my experience few nations are so dependent on the car as the US. It so very similar in Germany where I’m from but mostly because it’s such an important part of the economy. But in a big city you can easily live without a car. I found this almost impossible in the US.
