The scary thing: Drivers in Europe still tend to be less assholish than Americans.
Also, word. I don't drive or have a license, either - even if I actually knew how, which I don't, I have enough road rage problems on my bike - and it drives me batty when I have to stand at a crosswalk for five minutes waiting for every idiot in Beaverton to drive across. Hey, there's no light - why should they bother stopping for a whopping ten seconds, just because it's the law? And why give a person on a bike more than six inches of space when driving behind them? After all, it's their fault that there aren't enough (or really, any) bike lanes in town.
