I spent 6 weeks in the US in 2012. Drove to Florida. Two things stood out in my mind.
1) The lack of common sense used by drivers of all types of vehicles on the roads.
2) The fear of everything non-American.
I was very happy to cross the border back into Canada after those 6 weeks.
BTW, I never in those travels felt threatened by anyone or the need to have a weapon for protection. That included downtown Tampa at night, New Orleans downtown and in the French Quarter at night, wandering around downtown Memphis at night, and many motel and gas pit stops along the way. Either I was lucky, or the boogeymen were on holidays.
