> American roads which are among the easiest to drive in the world

This. Driving in Arizona or Nevada is possible for a child. It’s not pouring down, there’s often roads so wide that ther e is a lane in each direction! Often there are road markings painted on the road. That aren’t snowed over. It’s easy mode.

I’d like to see the best efforts in some Italian alleys where you are 50/50 to have to reverse because you face another car, or a rainy single lane country road in England at night. Anything where the driver actually has to interact with other drivers, understanding eye contact, waves, social norms (who reverses? Is he in a hurry? Is she angry? Is that car parked or waiting too? Is that wave meaning I should go or is it just an angry gesture?) and not just the environment.

These things (narrow alleys, roads snowed over 6 months, oncoming traffic in the same lane) aren’t edge cases. It’s what “driving” is in many places.
