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

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?

Yep ... leave it up to those lower highway vehicle densities to slash road deaths per 1 billion vehicles ... or is it the higher Canadian and German driver IQ averages that somehow allow drivers there to violate the laws of vehicle physics for awhile?

Isn't there a saying that goes something like this?: "Some drivers can speed all of the time, and all drivers can speed some of the time, but all drivers can't speed all of the time.” :h

Ummmm...... you DO know that a) WAY more people are killed OFF highway, than on, and, b) that the statistic quoted was per ‘billion vehicle x kilometres’ which equalizes all of that anyways?

Did someone put my name on the above statistics? How do you do that? Anyway, I did NOT post these statistics. But, it was me who posted my opinion regarding the IQ of the average driver in Germany vs the IQ of the average driver in the USA. AND, now I have learned that Germany's requirements for obtaining, and retaining, a driver's license is quite different than ours.

Yes, someone flubbed when they ‘snipped’ a quote and attributed my comments to you.
