American Way? Japanese Way?

American Way? Japanese Way?

I believe America has well prepared against possible accident, harm, disaster, etc.
American way usually anticipates some mishaps inevitably occurs and prepares for it with a lot of cost.
Back in my early thirties, I had travelled all over the American continent through greyhound. Throughout the journey I noticed during the night, two instead of one driver were on duty, and throughout the night, they were chatting one another. One of them was alternative driver.
At midnight, no one can predict what happens, most likely he might have been attacked by unexpected drowsiness, I was deeply impressed American weren't stingy in spending for our safety & security, that might cost a lot but eventually it cost much less than not prepared at all.
See Japanese way - authorities always told us not to sleep at midnight when we were on duty, then if we had an accident they are always get ready for attributing to our own careless mistake, which is inevitably we are subject to having.
When I used long distance bus between cities at night, I noticed only one driver was on duty. That's Japanese way. I swore not to use it again, in Japan.
