  • This. Spent a month riding a motorbike across the US and the amount of times I couldn't even get from the hotel to the restaurant next door without driving was insane. No paths, ditches / walls between places, 6 lane highways.

    Totally insane.

    Also, it's incentivised. Drive through everything; banks & convenience stores where you don't even have to leave your seat.

  • The states is bonkers for driving. My father in law was working there for a while and an english colleague got picked up by the police for walking down the side of a road to get to a reastaurant which was about 500m from his hotel.

  • Isn't that the anecdote everybody tells?

  • Bit late, but apparently the Jack Reacher author never visited the US which is why they didn't think it was odd that the dude starts all his adventures by walking along the freeway.
