For the benefit of Messrs. Wheeler, Rosen, at al, I am reposting the following passage, submitted by Dave Bartley to net.travel: > All of the autobahns I drove traveled far superior to the freeways > here: broader lanes, better graded, better signed, MORE ALERT DRIVERS. > PASSING ON THE RIGHT BEING VERBOTEN IS THE CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE, HOWEVER. > THERE IS NO OTHER WAY FOR A 4-LANE HIGHWAY TO HANDLE CARS GOING ANYWHERE > FROM 50 TO 150 MPH IN THE SAME PLACE. Left-lane speed-limit "enforcers" > are happily driven off the roads. (Emphasis added.) If you think the aggressive drivers in this country are risking your life, don't ever go visit the krauts!
