Yeah, that argument has come up before (I think 4x4 always says that in these threads).

I think the difference is that in Europe it is expected that things like that will happen, so when things like being cut off or splitting lanes happens it isn't a surprise.

Here, things like that aren't supposed to happen, so when it does it freaks people out.

It is like going out to play a game of NBC hockey and suddenly getting Phaneufed. If you knew a hit might be coming it wouldn't have been as bad.
