Transatlantic differences

I spend four months a year driving in Italy, Germany and Sweden, and your comments on driver education are on the mark. Getting a license in Europe is a big deal, taking months or a year with ice and wet skid tests. It's so frustrating in the States with folks homesteading the left lane while eating, talking, etc.

Rally U.S.?

I agree with Aug. 28 letter-writer Ron Parker that the WRC needs to be on U.S. TV, available to the general public. Rally driving comes closest to what we do on public streets at lower speeds: not going around in circles, or left and right, but over various challenges including potholes.
