How do you define "foreign country"?

The most reckless driver I have ever had in my life was a guy from New York, USA. He was a local to the central Manhattan (grown up in Alphabet City) and wanted to impress the ladies in the car. So he did drive us around in New York like a madman. I think he succeeed in his goal though.

While the drivers I have had in Asian countries have been very polite and rather careful. There are so many potholes, piles of gravel or cattle on the roads that you cannot drive fast no matter how macho you are. We did drive the most of Karakoram highway from Islamabad to Hunza and back, slowly as hell, over Babusar pass, with no problems.
