Driving in Europe may seem more crazy, depending on what you are used
to.  I enjoyed myself; it was like driving like I always WISHED I could.
I drove through Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy.  You must be
aggressive to drive through cities in Italy and Paris, France.  Autobahns/
autoroutes/autostratas are all 4 lane (2 in each direction) and very well
maintained.  In Italy and France, tolls must be paid on the auto/route/strata.
Also, there are tolls through the tunnels.

The reason that cars look so good in Germany is that their cars must pass
yearly inspections or they cannot be driven, plus German drivers take great
pride in their cars.

While Germany is the only country to not have a posted speed limit on their
auto*, but most other countries don't monitor.  Be careful off the auto*.
