While I don't agree with this, I see the logic.

The thing I hate the most is when it's really crowded, cars are tight together, but everyone is moving along at +10 or +20 above the posted speed...No problem right? Well there is always one guy in an SUV that you can't see around, and he keeps flicking on his break lights.
"do I need to get my foot on the brakes?"
"Are we slowing down?"
"Is there a cop?"
"Is there an accident?"
"Am I about to need to stomp on my breaks to avoid something nasty?"

Here in Germany, the far left lane is strictly passing/faster traffic. When there are 3 lanes, I usually cruise in the middle unless there's no limit, then I use the right lane. When someone has to merge, the right lane traffic must move over whenever possible to allow them in, most people read the road and move over at least 100m before the merge, i'll flash if they seem unsure.-03/2005 E46 330D Touring 6spd(204hp/410nM) Sapphire Black/Naturbraun Sport...300k KM & 35mpg(mixed)

My thing is trucks.
I have to cross a mountain every day, twice, to get to work. Fucking tractor trailers will be going 35mph/65 up the mountain....and decide that they need to pass the next truck doing 34mph.
There are no signs saying no passing for trucks, etc....but there need to be.
There is also a PERFECTLY USABLE RAIL ROAD going through the mountain.
Also the left lane cruisers and the mergers who stop.....I'll drive right around them at times. (I know, unsafe, but why should I have to stop and risk being rear-ended too? I've seen it happen many times...)1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

I wish the U.S. was more strict/people were more conciencious (sp?) in regards to traffic laws.

Generally I think traffic is fine in the US. What I hate is the couple people who think they are more important than everyone else and drive like complete assholes. I hate it when people swerve and cut people off by bobbing and weaving through traffic.Si vis pacem, para bellum.
