As a US driver living in France, I can share just the anecdote that French driving far less pleasant, more stressful, and feels more dangerous due to its narrow traffic lanes. I can also report seeing high numbers of highway accidents in Paris, and I would be surprised if per capita traffic fatalities were lower in France. I dream of driving in the luxurious, relaxing wide lanes of the US.



According to wikipedia numbers, France has half the traffic fatalities per capita, and and a bit less than the US per distance driven.
