There are different driving cultures and becoming proficient in one style might look like bad driving to someone from another culture.

The amount of damaged cars and stationary objects and injured people in bad-driving countries belies that particular nugget of cultural relativism.

Is cross-country crash data available?

True, this certainly skews my impression of driving in other countries. However, some of the examples I recall can not possibly be good driving in any culture (like making a ten point U-turn when there is ample room to make a single turn, or failing to park in a large spot after several attempts).
