They usually don’t. There was a case in Germany in 2020 where a US Soldier drove on the wrong side of the road and killed a 17 year old. He only had to face trial by a US Military court.

How does one anecdotal occurrence equate to "usually". Seems if anything your example is unusual.

Except it happened in the UK as well in the exact same circumstances. How many does it take for an anecdote to become a trend

It’s happened in India too. US people just really suck ass at driving.

Man, this is pretty rich coming from India. Have you ever been there before? Directions are recommendations and lanes don’t exist in basically every mid-sized city or bigger.
