Except I’ve driven extensively around the world and I’m not an Australian only being in Australia for the past few years.

I’ve driven the world most dangerous roads that’s my thing. Often you wouldn’t even call them roads.

I felt more safe on a goat track with a coach coming the other way and sheer drop at the side of the road or highway with cows in the middle of the road and chaos traffic than Australia. Even 150mph down the Autobahn felt safer than 110kmh on an Australian highway.

Every car journey in Australia I play a game, spot the potential accident ahead as someone nearly crashes or does something stupid.

Watch dash cam owners Australia, half of it’s avoidable but the driver drives straight in to it rather than defensively avoid putting themselves in a dangerous situation

It’s absolutely an attitude/cultural issue. They have a lengthy process to get a license however I notice there’s a preference of parents teaching their bad habits vs professional driver training.
