I got my license in Sweden and there are laws for when you must have summer tires and winter tires as well as how deep the pattern needs to be. This is all covered in the writing portion of the test. It's quite possible that someone driving with wheels like that might get their license suspended at the least.

Yes it's illegal to drive on tires with worn out patterns. I thought it was the same everywhere in the civilized world.

it is. you're correct.

us Americans, we seem to like to swerve deftly around many such useful civil universalities.

things you'd assume are vital to a peaceful, comfortable, safe people are often things that seem to baffle us.

i think this repeated swerving should disabuse anyone of any notion of the USA being a civilized nation, but somehow people keep classifying us as better than we are. lived here my whole life... not sure how someone could make that mistake, honestly. not unless they were really rich, I guess.

One big part is because of Hollywood. The entire world image of America comes from movies.

Once you start to look into the prison system, the justice system, the financial system.... Well, nothing actually builds on any feeling of caring about its citizens at all.
