Answer 2

Naturally driving a car for long distances includes an inherent risk of an auto accident. But other than the risk of accidents, road trips are not unsafe. Many people in the US take cross country trips every year and do not consider it unsafe at all. It is a good idea to think ahead about safety and there are definitely some areas that you might want to avoid if safety is a concern. For example, I would not walk around in most major US cities alone after dark. Most cities have some areas that have high crime rates and when I am a visitor to a city I'm not familiar enough to know where they are. So I play it safe by being back to wherever I'm staying by dark or be with an organized tour or take a cab directly from somewhere back to my hotel. I also would not wander off to someone's hotel room or home or get into a car with someone. Most people are friendly, helpful and harmless, but there are a few psychos and they don't wear signs to warn you that they are dangerous. Plan out your trip so you don't end up in the middle of nowhere without a any idea of where you will spend the night. The distances in the US are immense. Numerous friends from Europe who have visited me always made the comment that they could not visualize the vastness until they actually experienced it. There are parts of the country where you can drive for many miles and hours between towns. When I do long road trips I like to keep things somewhat flexible, so I like to have 2 or 3 potential destinations at varying distances each day so if I want to linger longer at an attraction, or if road construction or a detour slows me down, I have several options planned for where to spend the night. If you enjoy nature and beautiful landscapes, I would recommend an itinerary that includes staying in state and national parks, especially as you go across the less populated areas of the western half of the country. Although there are occasionally incidents of violent crime in the parks, they are very rare. Generally speaking, they are safe places to stay, the people are friendly and they have some of the most unique things you will find in the US to see. I think you would enjoy a road trip and with a few minimal precautions, need not worry about not being safe.
