Driving

Does driving represent more than just transportation? Since driving is different from place to place, does it represent the culture that specific geographical area? Our society has many rules to driving, everyone drives in straight lines going a specific speed and we constantly have police to watch our every move. I don't know exactly what the rules of the road are in different countries but from the video we watched they seem to be a lot less regulated. I guess you can look at it as we are very responsible and want to make everything safe, but it just seems other places are able to do that without all the extra limitations . We are supposed to be so free but we have concerned ourselves so much with safty that we are limiting ourselves. I'm not saying we shouldn't have any rules, but cops dressing up as construction workers to catch speeders it just seems to be going too far.
