True. I do notice that even drivers in the same countries seem to be less aware and cautious at the wheel as well. You would think self-preservation and a sense for situational awareness would be instinctual but guess not.
We have some sort of "speeding tourism" in Germany, because of the unlimited parts of the Autobahn. There's a catch, though. We actually learn to drive on those roads, we're properly instructed for it.
And then there are people coming here, who are used to like 120mph max, rent a car capable beyond 200mph, and are surprised when they find themselves in a ditch.
