"driving" in the left lane. YES it's illegal.

This thread has seemed to segue into a conversation on the ethics of “speed.” There are two laws in play for a person when it comes to speed within a vehicle on roads within a jurisdiction: laws of the people and laws of physics. Break excessively either one might get you judged by more than just the twelve on earth.

Public road speed has no place in America anymore (or anywhere else in the world either, IMHO, no matter what the Germans think they're getting away with).

According to the WHO (World Health Organisation) statistics, road deaths per 1 billion vehicle-kilometres looks like this;

United States - 7.3

Canada - 5.1

Germany - 4.2




So it appears that for a country that so flippantly thumbs its nose at risking life & limb, they have almost half (43%) the traffic fatalities that the US does.

Maybe it’s because they’re vastly better drivers in Europe?

IMO average German IQ is higher than ours. There was a time when I flight-trained young 1st officers, in Lear Jets. They were all quick learners and spoke at least 3 languages.
