Openness & Efficiency / Americas : 2014

Sao Paulo Traffic

With West Europe averaging 16.8 and East Europe a miserable 6.2, it was America's turn. I didn't add the Caribbean Islands as there is no data from there that I know of, so I stuck to the mainland.

To give an insight into the region, written contact with the US or Canada usually produces a reply, but anything south of that and you enter an email black hole. Writing in Spanish doesn't help either. There must be a culture of only answer when it suits, if at all.

As for car stats, even the poor showing by east Europe was eclipsed by America. There are some nations that do well, but far too many that do nothing. Central America is obviously a region that either doesn't understand - or have any interest in - public awareness. Maybe too many locals are too busy eking out an existence to be interested.

No wonder they don't care about car sales stats
