    Australia DFAT's Smart Traveller website is pretty useful:

    Or the American version:

    That's not that bad. Seen plenty of ppl driving (both local streets and highways) while staring at their phones here in NYC (even though it's illegal).

    Better check your insurance policies and make sure they cover you appropriately. Have heard of some insurance policies being invalidated when there are known threats.

    Might as well just make it the whole world.

    Warning: life is dangerous, 100% of those alive will die.

    Yeah me too. I think any rational review of the risk of dying from violence (including gun violence and violent crime as well as terrorism) would rate the USA much risker than most of Europe.
