“Unlike here in the U.S. they actually drive civilized in Europe and keep right except to pass.”

There are a lot of things that annoy me about other drivers, that is high on the list.

And if you need to turn LEFT my experience is you must get in the left lane well ahead of the turnoff because all the leadfoot jackasses won’t let you move over if you actually drive only the speed limit plus 5 or so.

Too many ego-driven cars.

I just returned from driving in Europe: the big difference is that in the US, most drivers settle on a narrower band of speed almost always over the speed limit but not insanely so.

In Europe the distribution of speeds seems much broader, so you have some people driving under, some a little over and some driving very fast, way over the speed limit. So people must get out of the way.

I noticed there's a big class difference: cheap econoboxes are slow to medium, people with expensive Audis, Mercedes and BMWs drive a lot faster. Here I see Deshaunte driving a clunker with a bumper barely hanging onto the car at 75 mph.
