You're sure? I'm not from the U.S. I heard you better pay close attention to the cars or you might get run over. Your best bet is to buy a large SUV or truck to be safe inside that thing on the roads. The article also says that. I'm not trying to be overly sarcastic here. But normally, people who operate heavy machinery are the ones supposed to be attentive and look out. There are countries where people walk or drive bicycles and it kinda works. Also whole big cities like NYC where people live without driving everywhere themselves.
