Where can you drive a car that is falling apart? There may not be inspections but cops will pull you over for any issue regarding vehicle safety. Headlight out. License plate light out. Even windows tinted too dark. That's everywhere I've ever lived in the US
To get a driver's license in North Carolina you have to take a written test, an eye sight test and a driving test on a highway and in town. You have to have proof of insurance. Your vehicle must pass yearly inspection for safety equipment. When I lived in Florida, the same was true, but some of the commenters say it isn't the case now.
I legit hate it when people say the U.S. as a whole. Every state is very different and there are even different regions within each state. You cannot wrap up everything and say “That’s the U.S.”
Almost 70 years old and lived in a city most my life and never seen gun violence ever, on News and TV yes, and I wasn't rich or a " posh" area - working class! I own firearms and never had a reason to show it or use it. 10:31
You can have a brake failure even after your car is cleared to be "road worthy." I grew up in NY and that state has all the safety checks and stuff. The checks never stopped an accident. To me, the checks were just a way to get more money from people, and nothing more. I now reside in Florida and I love the fact that I do not need to come up with extra funds to feed the state coffers. By the way, if someone's car causes an accident here in Florida, that driver is responsible for all the expenses to any and all other drivers involved.
I was shocked to find out that Florida doesn’t require car inspections. Of course, I Googled it and found out that my state of Pennsylvania is one of only 14 states in the US that require annual state inspection and emissions testing. 😮
I don’t think she’s really qualified to do this video. lol. She’s lived in 2 US cities over 10 years ago. There are so many ways of life in the U.S. I’ve never felt unsafe in my city and the laws she’s talking about are so off base.
3:07 Because you have a right to privacy? You have a right to live your life not under the eye of Big Brother? If anything, there should be cameras on elected representatives (public servants) throughout the day. Everything they do should be transparent.
Definitely the wrong person to ask this question. She definitely sounds sheltered and knows nothing about the US as a whole, because Florida is definitely a different state when compared to the US as a whole and only represents one side of the spectrum. Someone who has lived and traveled extensively in both countries would have a better grasp on this subject. Having an MOT sounds like a good idea but probably wouldn’t fly in a country that mostly believes in the government having as little interference with our lives as possible, also imagine how many people that limits from being able to have a car. People who can’t afford a good car wouldn’t be able to go anywhere and in a country as big as the US that limits a lot of people’s ability to travel. If you’re obeying the traffic laws, then even if someone had a shitty car you should have plenty of time and room to avoid any accident. The US was formed because the people were tired of the government interfering with their daily lives so cameras and an MOT isn’t something that is popular with a lot of folks. Some people want the government to have more control but most don’t and just want to be left alone.
I live in east Tennessee. We have never had vehicle inspections. We do have laws that prevent unsafe operation of a motor vehicle. I have actually received a ticket for not having enough tread on my tires. Many issues like this are are highly multifaceted. People tend to focus on points that are anecdotal or specific to their personal ideology. As an example; our area has a functional poverty rate of around 30%. Expensive vehicle inspections would be a hardship if not outright impractical for a lot of people, (Your £60 price isn't prohibitivly high but remember all states are different. I have lived in areas that had vehicle inspections that are as much as $450 a year.) Combined with the complete lack of any public transport this would leave many people with no transportation at all. Meaning no way to find gainful employment unless it's within walking distance of your home.The closest town is 7 miles away from me meaning a minimum of a 7 mile walk every morning and every evening to just get a job at McDonalds. Many people would choose to take a chance on getting stopped and fined, which is unlikely if you drive like a reasonable person; rather than the guaranteed yearly cost of an inspection and possible expensive repairs that are unaffordable, meaning you are gambling on whether or not you can legally have transport at all. Everything I have said is debatable. You can blame the state government for lack of infrastructure or say people just have to suck it up and follow the same laws as everyone else, but that infrastructure has to be provided at the cost of tax dollars, which in an area with a 30% poverty rate tax revenue isn't abundant. The government in Tennessee tends to do a reasonable job of trying to actually provide what is most beneficial for the majority of the people in a given area. In a county with 32,000 people around 50% of those are in the workforce (ages 18-65) if those people pay $100 a year for an inspection that would be $1.6 million dollars (in a 1 vehicle household). We already have a wheel tax, which is $75 a year which means your vehicle registration is $28 plus an extra $75 tax added on which was implemented temporarily to raise funds for building a school. It was voted in because people wanted a better school. After it passed the county commision held a closed session and voted to make the tax permanent. A one year tax became permanent and we have been paying it for over 20 years. That could be an inspection fee but for some reason it isn't. You pay a similar cost, but get no inspection. Adding an inspection at an extra cost would double the burden on some of the poorest people in the country. None of this means anything definitive it just shows how multifaceted issues are. I have only touched on a couple of points but there are many more, I could discuss things like this for hours on end.
Nevada has real safety, emissions, and driving tests. Each year, your car has to pass an emissions and safety test in order to renew your registration. The driver test takes about an hour, too.

13 States still require annual safety inspections and 29 States require an annual emissions test.

Guns are not unsafe, the people behind the gun pulling the trigger is unsafe just like a knife is not unsafe but the person wielding it and stabbing people is unsafe.
I enjoyed the video but what struck me was the recurrence of her saying "feeling safe" because feeling safe is a misnomer. It's a feeling only. You are never safe anywhere, anything can happen to you at any time at any place. You could be in the "safest" place in the "safest" city on the planet just walking down the side walk on a beautiful sunny day, not a cloud in the sky and a car come out of no where, jump the curb and run over you. A over pressure steam pocket could develop underground in the sewage system and the moment you step over a manhole cover, it explode, just pure happenstance. A tree could lose a limb and fall on you. You could be in your own home in any country and some random person decide to pick you as a target and kick in your door. Anything can happen to you at any time anywhere for any reason.
No one wants to drive a car that will get them killed. People generally don't need the state to motivate them to fix their brakes. The impact of MOT is MARGINAL at best. People who drive their car on The Daily know if it has a malfunction and since they are the ones who will be killed the car owner is pretty motivated to affect repairs HOWEVER, Most states have a "safety check," that varies in intensity and frequency from state to state.
CCTV depends on who the cameras belong too. If a private business or apartment complex want to protect itself, it's customers, or it's residents, that's an altogether different thing than the government recording us all day. every day. Despite our courts ruling that we have right to privacy in public, why should the government know which coffee shop I frequent, where I buy my groceries, which bakery I like, or any other aspect of my life? Our government has a nasty habit of looking to invent crime out of thin air. Anyone who believes, like you, that if you have nothing to hide you should be okay with being filmed by the government, has been brainwashed. There are between 300,000,000 and 400,000,000 guns in private ownership in the U.S.. Yet, somehow, our blood thirsty gun culture ranks 28th in gun deaths per 100,000 citizens. Knives are responsible for 5 times more deaths than rifles. The vast majority of mass shootings are done with handguns. There are 38,000 deaths from handguns in the U.S.. Two thirds of those deaths are from suicides. These are all facts that are openly available to anyone who cares to spend the time to look them up.
I haven’t been to London but I have seen many videos making it fill like Europe has a lot more graffiti than the US. Through my experiences Graffiti means that area is unsafe. Even old historic cities seem to be tagged with graffiti everywhere. If I see graffiti where I live my heart fills with hate for the people who disrespect and defile where I live I don’t think I will ever overcome disliking graffiti
I've been on this earth 54 years and have never seen gun violence or even anyone carrying a firearm and I live in an open carry state. I've never felt unsafe in the US but I have in other countries.
In rural areas of the US most have guns but we know each other and wouldn't like to shoot each other. Its mostly for animals and defense. In cities the cops certainly need guns
I have been to London maybe 5 times over the decades and NYC as many times too. I have never felt unsafe in either city but I have street smarts as well so I don’t put myself in unsafe places.
I have seen bad drivers in every place I have travel and lived. I am a very good defensive driver and the road test I took in NY taught me really well in about 25 minutes. I have been driving for almost 40 years and I must say that the worst drivers I have seen have been some teens, and foreigners. Most of the foreigners I have seen do not seem to have a clue how to react on the road properly. I saw an Irish guy try to change lanes at the very last moment and hit two cars and a bus in the snow at night. I have seen Canadians drive without a care in a school zone. Long road tests do not always lead to good drivers. Experience is the key. Since I have lived in several different areas around the US and the world, I know that testing doesn't mean anything. I will bet the majority of Brits cannot drive in snow or in icy conditions. That's a skill that is only learned by doing it. I lived near the US border with Canada and it snows almost daily from November to April each year. I have done all the bad weather driving that one can do. I know that about late after noon every day that the sunlight is going be bouncing off the snow on the road and off the windshield at crazy angles because the sun shines directly into the drivers eyes for the last 20 minutes before the sun finally sets. Knowing this info makes me leave earlier or after sunset. There is no reason to fight the sun in those conditions because you cannot win.
Florida is an outlier. In Washington State, we are tested on the roads out in traffic. When I got my CDL Class B, I was tested in a 40-foot school bus on the roads and freeway. We only were tested for backing maneuvers in a parking lot for obvious reasons. As for gun crimes, again, it depends on where you live.I live in the suburbs. I've never seen or heard a gunshot, and I've been here for almost 60 years and know people who own firearms. I've heard shooting in military areas only. I guarantee that where i live is safer than London.😂 I see where you're coming from with MOT, but remember, just my average state is bigger than England, and there are almost 350 million people living in America.. That's a gigantic price tag to implement that. We cannot even get universal health care.
"Esch country is different.' When my brother and I were teenagers, we would walk through our town to a wooded area, past an electuary school, that had a high bank, so we used it as a make-shift shooting range. We walked through town with our guns plainly displayed We were never stopped by anyone and never got into any king of trouble. I know that something has happened in this country, but the availability of guns is not it.
We now have a new issue with illegals driving without insurance or drivers licenses. It's created so much friction in my state. I literally stopped driving 2 years ago. It's not worth it anymore.. It's scary!
@user-wc8fp4cx6c Oh no! I'm talking about the people flooding our boarders illegally. Many of them can't even read the signs (in English) and just do whatever the hell they want. It's really a sad situation...
California is known for crazy drivers, and in smaller towns, like I'm from, they're worse because the roads and infrastructure aren't keeping up with the uptick in shopping areas, neighborhoods, etc.
Depends. Are you in Chicago or Detroit, any number of others...but ive heard east London is kinda rough, Manchester, Blackpool, Hull...good and bad places everywhere.
upkeep is an owners responsibility but my state has safety inspections. I abhor people who give liberty for "safety" in terms of cct cameras...she sounds very brainwashed by the changing terms of "Mass" shooting
Not a comment but a question. If your police officers are unarmed what stops someone from manhandling them physically? Are they trained for hand to hand combat?
If I were a praying person I would say one every time I get behind the wheel. I live in Las Vegas and I'm not alone in fearing that I'll be a victim of an accident. We have fatal crashes reported nearly daily. We've had almost 300 fatalities just this year alone in my county, almost 400 statewide. I don't feel safe at all.
No MOT inspector in the UK is checking your engine or timing chain. They only check items related to safety and emissions. Lights, brakes, suspension, tires, structural integrity, seat belts, horn, etc, along with exhaust emissions. They don’t care if your timing belt snaps as you’re going down the road, because that’s not really a safety issue. Most US states have both safety and emissions testing annually for cars.
The CCTV stats are out of date. Any first- or second-tier city in mainland China has heavier surveillance than London. Which brings up a point that sort of answers your question: whether you're for or against these sorts of things, tends to depend on how much you trust your government. Americans as a rule are not particularly trusting of government, but if you want to see how that sort of thing can go horribly wrong, look at China, a nation whose government read George Orwell and said, "Why be so lenient?"
I've Born and raised in the US and lived in several large cities but the only violence and death from violence that I've ever seen was while living in Germany.
10 min?! Maybe it’s because I’m old, but our test was written and driving pretty in depth… definitely over an hour…. has that changed? I felt safer in my own town than London… but my town has almost zero crime. But in cities, I felt equally safe in both places. For me, I’d rather have access to weapons than be at the mercy of criminals.
I’m in NY. Our cars have to pass an annual safety and emissions test. My road test was on a road, not a main road, but parallel parking, turns, etc. were all done on the road. Not in a parking lot. I’ve been to London once, over 40 years ago. I felt safe, but I was always with a group and being 14 at the time, probably a little naive about the dangers that could be lurking. People wonder how I can live in NYC, but I feel safe here. I don’t put myself in vulnerable situations.
Kaylin mentioned New York and Pittsburgh. I’ve lived in both and think that I would feel safer in London than either. The only possible exception would be if a mass casualty or terror event were to occur. I do think that I’d trust the NYPD and other agencies in New York more than perhaps any other. They are very good in large scale events. Things like policing for the UN and what I’ve seen from them in other large scale events and emergencies would make them my first choice in those circumstances.
My state (NJ) is known for having bad drivers 😂 but I think that’s related to population density and a fast paced lifestyle. Too many people in a rush at the same time leads to aggressive driving and accidents.
From her point of view statistically Florida is safer than the state of Iowa but when you break down what kinds of violent crimes they are its a whole different story and it's normally based off of per 100k people statistically gun violence in Florida is worse than Iowa. Same with robberies and they're almost equal when it comes to SA but where are violent crimes stem from in Iowa are mainly aggravated assault and that is 1.5x worse then Florida
I live in Arizona and think that about our drivers pretty much every second of every day and unfortunately it goes for the police driving on the streets too especially after almost getting hit by one a couple times over the last few years.
When you think about an american cop's training , its about 8 to 12 weeks , followed by 3 to 12 months field training . The UK is about 2 to 3 years depends on entry level . Thats what google is telling me lol
My state has annual emission and inspections for vehicles. Many others do as well. I've also lived here all my life and not once have i ever seen gun violence. It's funny how every single other UA-camr or person that's visited or now lives in the us from the uk and other parts of europe say the exact opposite. I say she's skewed in her thinking because of the generation she's from and partly because of her just living in the uk for 10 years lol. I get it's just her experiences but sounds like everything she experienced wasn't a representation of the us by any means.
Texas has motor inspections, where California has smog checks and vehicle inspections. The UK is more like when I got my Drivers license in the US. I have seen a decrease in the difficulty in the tests. I live in an area where there is a very large number of drivers from Mexico. Mexico is a very dangerous place to drive
Florida is an anomaly! I've lived in 3 states and each require vehicles inspections and emissions testing annually or biannual for older vehicles. Brand new cars can usually get a 4 year inspection when initially purchased. I thought every state required a road test, on actual streets. I know Florida has a lot of weirdness and quirks but not inspecting vehicles is crazy.
In the uk road worthy test, what do they do? I mean do they pull the wherls and check brakes and fully check for witing or leaky fuel lines? She used the cars blowing up example. Even in florida that isn’t a thing. As for the gun crime, you’d have to check for certain hut most places with high gun ownership have low crime because people know their “victim” muhht be packing. For the refent past, About half the deaths from guns is suicide. Bot great but still. Majority of homicides are in major democrat controlled cities with strict gun laws and many are gamg related. Didnmt London have an uptick in knife crimes, enough where the mayor tried to put those knife collection box deals on the streets?

Florida drivers suck…Ohio you take a written and a road test and maneuverability test. Many states have same thing as a not test every year. You can’t rate the rest of the country on Florida…remember Florida man! As you mentioned gun laws do not keep guns out of the wrong hands. She is of the generation that is a kind of snowflake ❄️. I would not use a gun, but I have no problem with the average citizen owning one. The government gets froggy…they know that the citizens are not going to take it. Germany took away firearms before the Nazi takeover. I would want my husband to defend me and when he was alive he could. I have been in big cities and towns and the country and I am not afraid. I grew up on a farm in the country and grew up very naive, but I’m now 68 and have rarely felt unsafe…but you need to use common sense.
If you look at the statistics of which are the safest cities in the U.S. it is the cities where the law abiding citizens are allowed to possess firearms. The cities with the strictest gun control laws where the criminals have the guns and the honest law abiding citizens don't are some of the most dangerous places in this country. All of the cities where the worst gun crimes are are in blue states and blue cities like Washington DC , ATLANTA , PHILADELPHIA , NEW YORK CITY , CHICAGO AND DETROIT just to mention a few. These places are controlled by democrats. PENNSYLVANIA , GEORGIA (Georgia is mostly red except for the cities) , NEW YORK STATE , ILLINOIS and MICHIGAN.
Lies. As an American, I fill safer in the cities than rural America. Then you have to ask yourself, what is a criminal? And when does one become a criminal?
@Bea-Dubya Well I'm an American also and I live in one of those blue cities in a blue state. We had 200 murders here as of Dec 24th 2024. That's down 150 murders from New Years 2023 where we ended 2023 with 350 murders. May I ask which particular city you feel safe living in.
With all the guns in this country if highly doubt it. If you're not doing anything wrong , I have no issue with CCTV. See in my state of Massachusetts, you have to have your car inspected every year for a sticker. If it fails , you get a red sticker and have 30 days to fix it.
Hi, American citizen here from Indiana and I completely agree with everything she said and I'm jealous she gets to live in the country my heart lives in. And P.s., yes I've been to London twice and I never felt unsafe.
I don’t like these videos where people just sit there and look at the camera and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. I could only take five minutes of it and had to leave.
I wish we in the US had more CCTV. If you aren't committing crimes, then what's the problem? Do people realize that they are often watched on security cameras while shopping in stores? Don't hear any complaints about that. I've been to London twice and it definitely felt safer even though it's a big city. I live in a suburb in Northern California and feel quite safe but in any big US city I wouldn't feel safe. Gun control here is a lost cause. We have so many atrocities committed, often on children but it just doesn't seem to matter to gun enthusiasts, or should I say the gun lobby.
most people in America never see a gun unless you are a hunter or a police person
Many states have safety and emissions testing.

CCTV depends on who the cameras belong too. If a private business or apartment complex want to protect itself, it's customers, or it's residents, that's an altogether different thing than the government recording us all day. every day. Despite our courts ruling that we have right to privacy in public, why should the government know which coffee shop I frequent, where I buy my groceries, which bakery I like, or any other aspect of my life? Our government has a nasty habit of looking to invent crime out of thin air. Anyone who believes, like you, that if you have nothing to hide you should be okay with being filmed by the government, has been brainwashed.
There are between 300,000,000 and 400,000,000 guns in private ownership in the U.S.. Yet, somehow, our blood thirsty gun culture ranks 28th in gun deaths per 100,000 citizens. Knives are responsible for 5 times more deaths than rifles. The vast majority of mass shootings are done with handguns. There are 38,000 deaths from handguns in the U.S.. Two thirds of those deaths are from suicides. These are all facts that are openly available to anyone who cares to spend the time to look them up.
CCTV is what helped authorities capture the unaliver you were glorifying.

I haven’t been to London but I have seen many videos making it fill like Europe has a lot more graffiti than the US. Through my experiences Graffiti means that area is unsafe. Even old historic cities seem to be tagged with graffiti everywhere. If I see graffiti where I live my heart fills with hate for the people who disrespect and defile where I live I don’t think I will ever overcome disliking graffiti
she has gotten soft. the US has had guns all along, to tell the British to get off our lawn
I've been on this earth 54 years and have never seen gun violence or even anyone carrying a firearm and I live in an open carry state. I've never felt unsafe in the US but I have in other countries.
In rural areas of the US most have guns but we know each other and wouldn't like to shoot each other. Its mostly for animals and defense. In cities the cops certainly need guns
I have been to London maybe 5 times over the decades and NYC as many times too. I have never felt unsafe in either city but I have street smarts as well so I don’t put myself in unsafe places.
I have seen bad drivers in every place I have travel and lived. I am a very good defensive driver and the road test I took in NY taught me really well in about 25 minutes. I have been driving for almost 40 years and I must say that the worst drivers I have seen have been some teens, and foreigners. Most of the foreigners I have seen do not seem to have a clue how to react on the road properly. I saw an Irish guy try to change lanes at the very last moment and hit two cars and a bus in the snow at night. I have seen Canadians drive without a care in a school zone.
Long road tests do not always lead to good drivers. Experience is the key. Since I have lived in several different areas around the US and the world, I know that testing doesn't mean anything. I will bet the majority of Brits cannot drive in snow or in icy conditions. That's a skill that is only learned by doing it. I lived near the US border with Canada and it snows almost daily from November to April each year. I have done all the bad weather driving that one can do. I know that about late after noon every day that the sunlight is going be bouncing off the snow on the road and off the windshield at crazy angles because the sun shines directly into the drivers eyes for the last 20 minutes before the sun finally sets. Knowing this info makes me leave earlier or after sunset. There is no reason to fight the sun in those conditions because you cannot win.
She's obviously urban. Country people take care of their own needs; government stay away
Which makes a big difference in arrest records.
Florida is an outlier. In Washington State, we are tested on the roads out in traffic. When I got my CDL Class B, I was tested in a 40-foot school bus on the roads and freeway. We only were tested for backing maneuvers in a parking lot for obvious reasons. As for gun crimes, again, it depends on where you live.I live in the suburbs. I've never seen or heard a gunshot, and I've been here for almost 60 years and know people who own firearms. I've heard shooting in military areas only. I guarantee that where i live is safer than London.😂 I see where you're coming from with MOT, but remember, just my average state is bigger than England, and there are almost 350 million people living in America.. That's a gigantic price tag to implement that. We cannot even get universal health care.
"Esch country is different.' When my brother and I were teenagers, we would walk through our town to a wooded area, past an electuary school, that had a high bank, so we used it as a make-shift shooting range. We walked through town with our guns plainly displayed We were never stopped by anyone and never got into any king of trouble. I know that something has happened in this country, but the availability of guns is not it.
Your Constable's over there should have a side-arms. It doesn't make sense to me honestly.
I hope you have a peaceful Christmas 🎄.
We now have a new issue with illegals driving without insurance or drivers licenses. It's created so much friction in my state. I literally stopped driving 2 years ago. It's not worth it anymore.. It's scary!
"new issue"
😭😭😭😭😭😭I'm MAGA and I love to whine about a non-issue.
When you say "illegals," are you referring to health insurance CEO's? I'm confused.
@user-wc8fp4cx6c Oh no! I'm talking about the people flooding our boarders illegally. Many of them can't even read the signs (in English) and just do whatever the hell they want. It's really a sad situation...
@@annahbelllancaster2509 In other words anyone not white.
California is known for crazy drivers, and in smaller towns, like I'm from, they're worse because the roads and infrastructure aren't keeping up with the uptick in shopping areas, neighborhoods, etc.
Depends. Are you in Chicago or Detroit, any number of others...but ive heard east London is kinda rough, Manchester, Blackpool, Hull...good and bad places everywhere.
Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin , Arlington and Lubbock all have more violent crime than Chicago, according to FBI data.
upkeep is an owners responsibility but my state has safety inspections. I abhor people who give liberty for "safety" in terms of cct cameras...she sounds very brainwashed by the changing terms of "Mass" shooting
Not a comment but a question. If your police officers are unarmed what stops someone from manhandling them physically? Are they trained for hand to hand combat?
If I were a praying person I would say one every time I get behind the wheel. I live in Las Vegas and I'm not alone in fearing that I'll be a victim of an accident. We have fatal crashes reported nearly daily. We've had almost 300 fatalities just this year alone in my county, almost 400 statewide. I don't feel safe at all.
No MOT inspector in the UK is checking your engine or timing chain. They only check items related to safety and emissions. Lights, brakes, suspension, tires, structural integrity, seat belts, horn, etc, along with exhaust emissions. They don’t care if your timing belt snaps as you’re going down the road, because that’s not really a safety issue.
Most US states have both safety and emissions testing annually for cars.
10:20 gun vs knife vs car at a Christmas market...
The CCTV stats are out of date. Any first- or second-tier city in mainland China has heavier surveillance than London. Which brings up a point that sort of answers your question: whether you're for or against these sorts of things, tends to depend on how much you trust your government. Americans as a rule are not particularly trusting of government, but if you want to see how that sort of thing can go horribly wrong, look at China, a nation whose government read George Orwell and said, "Why be so lenient?"
I've Born and raised in the US and lived in several large cities but the only violence and death from violence that I've ever seen was while living in Germany.
10 min?! Maybe it’s because I’m old, but our test was written and driving pretty in depth… definitely over an hour…. has that changed?
I felt safer in my own town than London… but my town has almost zero crime. But in cities, I felt equally safe in both places. For me, I’d rather have access to weapons than be at the mercy of criminals.
I’m in NY. Our cars have to pass an annual safety and emissions test. My road test was on a road, not a main road, but parallel parking, turns, etc. were all done on the road. Not in a parking lot. I’ve been to London once, over 40 years ago. I felt safe, but I was always with a group and being 14 at the time, probably a little naive about the dangers that could be lurking. People wonder how I can live in NYC, but I feel safe here. I don’t put myself in vulnerable situations.
Kaylin mentioned New York and Pittsburgh. I’ve lived in both and think that I would feel safer in London than either. The only possible exception would be if a mass casualty or terror event were to occur. I do think that I’d trust the NYPD and other agencies in New York more than perhaps any other. They are very good in large scale events. Things like policing for the UN and what I’ve seen from them in other large scale events and emergencies would make them my first choice in those circumstances.
My state (NJ) is known for having bad drivers 😂 but I think that’s related to population density and a fast paced lifestyle. Too many people in a rush at the same time leads to aggressive driving and accidents.
Where I live you have to have your car checked out every year. Around your birthday. I hope you have a peaceful Christmas.
Love your channel think your a good dude merry Christmas but really in merica we take our chances
When it comes to European UA-camrs often have the reverse opinion from her saying they felt safer on the wider lanes on American roads
From her point of view statistically Florida is safer than the state of Iowa but when you break down what kinds of violent crimes they are its a whole different story and it's normally based off of per 100k people statistically gun violence in Florida is worse than Iowa. Same with robberies and they're almost equal when it comes to SA but where are violent crimes stem from in Iowa are mainly aggravated assault and that is 1.5x worse then Florida
I live in Arizona and think that about our drivers pretty much every second of every day and unfortunately it goes for the police driving on the streets too especially after almost getting hit by one a couple times over the last few years.
When you think about an american cop's training , its about 8 to 12 weeks , followed by 3 to 12 months field training . The UK is about 2 to 3 years depends on entry level . Thats what google is telling me lol
My state has annual emission and inspections for vehicles. Many others do as well. I've also lived here all my life and not once have i ever seen gun violence. It's funny how every single other UA-camr or person that's visited or now lives in the us from the uk and other parts of europe say the exact opposite. I say she's skewed in her thinking because of the generation she's from and partly because of her just living in the uk for 10 years lol. I get it's just her experiences but sounds like everything she experienced wasn't a representation of the us by any means.
cars dont just blow up
You dont need MOT its completely UNNECESSARY
Texas has motor inspections, where California has smog checks and vehicle inspections. The UK is more like when I got my Drivers license in the US. I have seen a decrease in the difficulty in the tests. I live in an area where there is a very large number of drivers from Mexico. Mexico is a very dangerous place to drive
Florida is an anomaly! I've lived in 3 states and each require vehicles inspections and emissions testing annually or biannual for older vehicles. Brand new cars can usually get a 4 year inspection when initially purchased. I thought every state required a road test, on actual streets. I know Florida has a lot of weirdness and quirks but not inspecting vehicles is crazy.
only 15 states require safety inspections, 29 require emmissions. 13 does not require any kind.
@ChrisSantino Thanks for hat info. That's so surprising.
The UK is the Florida of Europe lol
In the uk road worthy test, what do they do? I mean do they pull the wherls and check brakes and fully check for witing or leaky fuel lines? She used the cars blowing up example. Even in florida that isn’t a thing. As for the gun crime, you’d have to check for certain hut most places with high gun ownership have low crime because people know their “victim” muhht be packing. For the refent past, About half the deaths from guns is suicide. Bot great but still. Majority of homicides are in major democrat controlled cities with strict gun laws and many are gamg related. Didnmt London have an uptick in knife crimes, enough where the mayor tried to put those knife collection box deals on the streets?
2023 Chicago murders 617
2023 UK murders 583
enough said
> There were 26,313 r**pe-related pregnancies during the 16 months after Texas outlawed almost all abortions.
> In Chicago, 0 women were forced by law to give birth to a r**pist's baby.
Enough said.

Florida drivers suck…Ohio you take a written and a road test and maneuverability test. Many states have same thing as a not test every year. You can’t rate the rest of the country on Florida…remember Florida man! As you mentioned gun laws do not keep guns out of the wrong hands. She is of the generation that is a kind of snowflake ❄️. I would not use a gun, but I have no problem with the average citizen owning one. The government gets froggy…they know that the citizens are not going to take it. Germany took away firearms before the Nazi takeover. I would want my husband to defend me and when he was alive he could. I have been in big cities and towns and the country and I am not afraid. I grew up on a farm in the country and grew up very naive, but I’m now 68 and have rarely felt unsafe…but you need to use common sense.
If you look at the statistics of which are the safest cities in the U.S. it is the cities where the law abiding citizens are allowed to possess firearms. The cities with the strictest gun control laws where the criminals have the guns and the honest law abiding citizens don't are some of the most dangerous places in this country. All of the cities where the worst gun crimes are are in blue states and blue cities like Washington DC , ATLANTA , PHILADELPHIA , NEW YORK CITY , CHICAGO AND DETROIT just to mention a few. These places are controlled by democrats. PENNSYLVANIA , GEORGIA (Georgia is mostly red except for the cities) , NEW YORK STATE , ILLINOIS and MICHIGAN.
Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin , Arlington and Lubbock all have more violent crime than Chicago, according to FBI data.
Lies. As an American, I fill safer in the cities than rural America. Then you have to ask yourself, what is a criminal? And when does one become a criminal?
@Bea-Dubya Well I'm an American also and I live in one of those blue cities in a blue state. We had 200 murders here as of Dec 24th 2024. That's down 150 murders from New Years 2023 where we ended 2023 with 350 murders. May I ask which particular city you feel safe living in.
All 50 states have mandatory vehicle inspection laws. Just not as frequent as the UK.
no only 15 states require regular safety inspections.
With all the guns in this country if highly doubt it. If you're not doing anything wrong , I have no issue with CCTV. See in my state of Massachusetts, you have to have your car inspected every year for a sticker. If it fails , you get a red sticker and have 30 days to fix it.
Hi, American citizen here from Indiana and I completely agree with everything she said and I'm jealous she gets to live in the country my heart lives in. And P.s., yes I've been to London twice and I never felt unsafe.
I don’t like these videos where people just sit there and look at the camera and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. I could only take five minutes of it and had to leave.
I wish we in the US had more CCTV. If you aren't committing crimes, then what's the problem? Do people realize that they are often watched on security cameras while shopping in stores? Don't hear any complaints about that. I've been to London twice and it definitely felt safer even though it's a big city. I live in a suburb in Northern California and feel quite safe but in any big US city I wouldn't feel safe. Gun control here is a lost cause. We have so many atrocities committed, often on children but it just doesn't seem to matter to gun enthusiasts, or should I say the gun lobby.
