from existing in a car in the US on a few occasions and living in australia i’d wager a HUGE amount of the difference is attitude… holy SHIT do yall speed like crazy! 15-20mph over the limit just seems to be standard… 15kph over the limit here in aus you literally watch them pass every other car and call them a dickhead - and they’ll almost certainly get a speeding fine
I am Australian, Ive been doing track days, drift days and have done a few amateur rallys too over the last 20 years and Ive never been more scared driving than a rental car in Austria in winter on holiday. Ice and snow is a whole different skillset.
also true, but as other have said, mississippi doesn’t really get snow so given the massive difference between them and vic, i don’t think snow is really a particularly big contributor
I mean,Australia has way less snow than the US, that definitely has to account for a chunk of the difference in our numbers.
But Canada has way more snow than the U.S., so that doesn’t seem to be a major factor.

Is this specifically relating to the difference between Victoria and Mississippi?
Between Australia and the US in general.
Mississippi gets negligible amounts of snowfall and it rarely sticks.
