That is alien to my experience in America, and I remember my dad complaining in the 90s about how if everyone just cooperated instead of fighting to be 1 car length ahead, zipper merges would be so much smoother. I've never experienced Hungary traffic so maybe that's it.

But the thing about US drivers isn't that they fight, everyone does that, and they're less aggro than SEA, more aggro than Japan.

The difference is how often people have just psychotic reactions to someone driving in a way they don't like, whether it's going too fast, too slow, switching lanes too much or too little or being too close, lane splitting, riding a bicycle, playing music too loud, hell look at OP, the driver saw a child riding a motorbike on a sidewalk, and decided that running them down was a sensible course of action.

Since leaving the US, not once have I seen a driver go out of their way to fuck with someone else, whether brake checking/going 10 below the speed limit or speeding up at a merge so someone else can't get in or trying to physically push a bicycle out of their lane or blocking a motorcycle from filtering at a light. These are all common experiences in the US.
