causes problems.

The autobahn is a living testament to what our road could look like if everyone followed this rule. The German highway system boasts lower accident and fatality rates even though it has higher (and sometimes nonexistent) speed limits. It isn’t just a matter of courtesy to the people driving behind you — it’s a real question of safety.

Until the vast majority of folks act as if the rules also apply to each of them (as is the norm in Germany & Scandinavia, for examples) we won't see this happening in the US.

It is a pleasure to drive on the Autobahn at 100 mph or more and know that everyone else is playing by the rules. That's why one can drive at those speeds.

I'm going to need the folks in my area to grasp some far more basic road rules like how to merge onto an interstate, using that thing they call a turning signal, and right-of-way laws before we move on to the concept of getting their slow arse out of the left lane.

It's amazing what America has accomplished when you see how many dumbasses we have among us.

I just made it from Daphne, AL to Destin and there were so many left lane lougers.

I ate their arse until they either moved over or I could pass in the right lane. 6 times

They used to be called "left lane bandits" in the old David E. Davis Car & Driver days.
That term still sticks with me.

The problem is that people think the left lane is the fast lane instead of the passing lane.

Try maintaining your speed. That way you won't pass a guy 6 times.

How does moving the USA on top of Europe help traffic?

Have you ever been on the Autobahn? It blows I-10 away.

Yeah but if you haul arse and save 30 minutes off of your trip, that's 30 min worth of driving that you saved in gas...?????... Profit
