Roads in Germany, the autobahn in particular, are in much better condition, for one, and for two, drivers there are generally better trained and know the rules of the road. How many people here will you see completely hogging left lanes, and passing on the right. Cruise outside of the bigger urban areas, where the big highways become two late only, and how many will STILL hog left lanes, and absolutely refuse to move into the right, even when there may be no other cars, or the traffic flow is going at their same speed. Honestly, if we had a stretch of highway with no speed limit, I would think the only people you would find there for the first little while (until enough people died that is) would be cocky arrogant teenage drivers, and cocky arrogant men. Do I want to share a fast lane with people of that calibre...probably not. |
I think Germans in general are very law abiding. The laws of road state that left lane is only for passing, so they try to use it only for passing ive seen that so much while driving there but I NEVER see it here. It works very well since it allows faster cars to go as fast as they want without bothering you. Mind you their cars are built for higher speeds, and theres barely any old shitty cars on the roads. Also many places have these wind barriers. Anyway this kinda sux cuz canada is so big and having higher speeds on inter city roads would mean less driving time.
