    That’s just because driver’s ed in the US if fucking horrible, and teaches the bare minimum to not kill other people while behind the wheel of a ton and a half of steel and aluminum. It doesn’t teach you to be a good driver, just not completely incompetent.

    Most people still forget most of the shit they learn there, though.

      Funny, not from the US.

      It’s good design regardless of the “competence” of the drivers. Oh, we also have snow, so sometimes you can’t see the curb or anything under the snow, so you stop when you hit the parking stop.

      Shocking concept that conditions are different elsewhere than you….

        So you have to come up with excuses and special circumstances for why it’s not bad driving…

        Sure, under certain conditions, when the waxing moon is at it’s apex and Apollo is in concordance with the orange juice futures, it’s totally acceptable to be a bad driver.

        Otherwise, use some fucking common sense and don’t park like an asshole.
