Scary! Driving in England is pretty scary-looking itself, though :)

Why is it scary looking? I always though driving in America would be worse!

Your streets are so TINY!!!! I thought we were gonna run into other cars all the time when I was there!

Heh, I did get used to that after a couple of days, though. Got used to being on the "wrong" side of the road too.

The Eastern states have narrower roads than we do out west where things are all spread out.

In general, though, it probably IS scarier to drive in America because it's pretty easy for us to get licenses! elledwen is my American friend who's been living in England for like 8 years now (she married a Brit) and she still doesn't have her license, she said they're harder to get. (not that she's been trying REAL hard to get one, but yeah, I guess you expect more out of your drivers than we do here :)

How wide do the roads need to be?

No no, it's you who are on the wrong side of the road. Wrong side of the car too.

You get your licence's younger out there too, the amount of drivers there are I can't see it being that hard to get a licence

Yeah, I'm not going to say how much over the speed limit I was, speedo's are inaccurate anyway, so what it said I was doing was probably an over estimate.
