Helsinki records zero traffic deaths for full year

I rarely hear anyone in the US honking outside of maybe the downtown of really big cities like NYC.

The world differs greatly when it comes to socially acceptable (or even legal) honking. In Sweden barely anyone honks unless to avoid serious accidents. In Spain, there is some honking, even when you just mildly inconvenience someone. In Peru, honking is a way of life/driving, and to communicate with other drivers, even when you just pass someone normally.

What part of the parent comments implied comparison to US?

They’re just relaying their experience in the US.

How many miles do you drive per day and where are those miles? I hear plenty of honking in the suburbs and I only drive 5 miles per day.

Honking is common across Brazil but not in the capital Brasília. Signs at some entrances of city read "Dear visitors, in Brasília we avoid honking".

NYC has really cracked down on excessive honking. It's nowhere near as bad as it used to be.

Shouting and middle fingers are still common.

When I was in Thailand, people honked at pedestrians to let them know they were passing them. Not angry honks, just toots. Different culture. It left a lot of confused tourists.

What? How? Where I am it is endless. Maybe it used to be worse but I have never heard of or seen someone getting a ticket for it or seen a single sign or heard an elected official so much as mention it.

It was common in Shanghai. Then the government made it illegal and actually enforced it. 2 months later, no honking

Yea, I live in downtown NYC and it's egregious. The selfishness of drivers here is frankly unfathomable

lol, lmao, etc.

In Atlanta you get honked at for merely not breaking the rules like the person behind you thinks you should. For example, not taking a right turn on red where the sign says "No Turn on Red", or not pulling out into oncoming traffic because the person behind would be crazy enough to do it.
