I don't know anyone who doesn't go on road trips of at least 3 hours or more a couple times a year, and I know a lot that go on road trips that are 6 hours or more a few times a year even. How many hours it take to get from one end to the next in Scotland?
North America is a huge driving culture compared to the rest of the world.

Europeans go on huge road trips, it is an open border. That has nothing to do with it.
I have driven from London, all the way through France to both Spain and Italy many times. I used to work with a bunch of Polish guys who used to drive 2 days straight from the UK to Poland rather than flying.
Wherever you go in europe during the summer months you will see a ton of different number plates in different areas. Germans, Dutch, UK, Belgians, French etc. All end up in all sorts of different countries.
I agree with the public transit differences though, much better in Europe for the most part, but not everyone uses it.
