"driving" in the left lane. YES it's illegal.

Why is driving here being compared to driving in Europe? Everything about driving in Europe is completely different. Completely - the vehicles, the roads, the laws, the driver training & licencing, driver capability, the enforcement, the terrain, the distances, urban density, etc. The annual per capita mileage driven in a car is much less than here due to alternative forms of transportation being very efficient, convenient and low cost.

And yet the European statistics quoted are based on “vehicle-kilometres” so “per capital mileage” is a meaningless reference.

However, “training & licensing, driver capability” seems to be key to the statistics.

There’s lots of other categories where training and society’s views differ wildly between Europe and the US also, but that’s another issue.
