The Deutschlanders would rather give up their political freedom than their driving freedom. Ask them and they will tell you. Also did someone say that driving was tranquil in Europe. Obviously they have never been to Rome. They have 6 lanes of Fiats driving down 3 lane streets. Fortunately, they are one-way streets. With the exception of the Autobahn and Rome, in over 12,000 miles of driving from Nord Kap, Norway to Rome, and from Vienna to Lands End, I don't think driving in Europe is much different, at least no worse, than driving in the U.S. provided you have been to the Rockies, New Jersey and New England. Their use of trains certainly helps the traffic situation. Californians usually have the most trouble.
