I have also noticed cultural differences between different regions. I notice people in western states in the US comply more with laws than in the east. Some westerners are horrified at hearing that we easterners sometimes run red lights. But we are not more lawless than others in our region, nor do we move about more dangerously. Similarly, New Yorkers walk against red lights often, when it is safe. I'm amused when I am somewhere else and I see people waiting for a light before crossing, even though there is no traffic to endanger them. These are cultural differences. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
