Vehicle accidents are the #1 cause of death for Americans abroad.

You may be a great driver, but don’t assume others are.

Standards of emergency care and availability of trauma centers can also differ from US, even in countries with advanced tech. Road rules may also be ignored, again even in countries with good police and legal systems. Or you may not understand local rules. Road lighting, street markings, and signs can be different and it only takes one mistake to end up in a major accident.

People who treat driving as a low risk activity are foolish. [/quote]

All that says is accidents involving vehicles is the #1 cause.  That could mean American pedestrians were hit by cars too while simply walking in the street because they forgot traffic was from the opposite direction.

I guess you must be scared of any activity that has risk. How do you even fly abroad?

You should also learn to read better too. [/quote]
