Very true about the States. My first time behind the wheel of a car on
a public road was on the end of a motorway to nowhere, because that
stretch of road was wide with large curve radii, had no cross traffic
or oncoming traffic, and was relatively lightly traveled (it was brand
new at the time and the last couple of miles were built through rural
areas in anticipation of future demand for roads into the city.)
