You don't think they have phones in every other country?

I do, however in more tech savvy countries the prevalence of smart phones (they’re more distracting) is muchhh higher as well as more lax laws on using said phones. Throw in automatic transmissions that are much more prevalent in the US (only need to use one hand to drive, other can be on your phone) as well as a general societal selfishness that seems to be more widespread here and you’re going to see increased numbers. Just my 2 cents - a couple mentions of other countries in a basic article isn’t a great argument.
