    It’s important to note here, that in Germany (at least, the region where I live) you will fail the practical driving exam if you don’t stop at a crosswalk with any pedestrian within about 5 meters, unless they are actively walking away from it.

    I think overall German driver’s education is significantly better (and much more expensive) than in the US.

      Driver’s education appears to be but one of many things that Germany does better than the USA. It is very difficult to fail a drivers test in the USA.

      It will be reformed soon tho. I hope they find the right balance between cutting costs and keeping good practices in driving education tho
