This one is a bit hard to explain. The US has a far better freeway
system than Australia or Canada, yet a higher death rate. Worse
weather than Australia, but better weather than Canada.
Perhaps the US needs a stricter licensing system or tougher
laws?

I don't think it's the highway system as much as the bloody fools
running red lights. From the perspective of an Albuquerquean.
