    Every time I see a scene in a US made film that involves characters in a moving vehicle, I’m immediately expecting the violent car crash trope to happen. That’s how normalized the violence of cars is in the USA.

      Every time I see a character standing in a street, I expect them to get hit by a car, and I’m usually right. It’s like unspoken language in US media.
