There's a cool show on the History Channel right now about the Autobahn. They talked about how, if you are going slower than any other car, you MUST move to the right lane. You are only allowed to leave the right lane in order to pass another car. Think of what that would do for traffic in America? It wouldn't solve everything, but it sure would make driving a LOT less frustrating. Americans can be so self-involved.

They went on to say that Germans initially couldn't comprehend why Americans wanted cup holders in their cars. They look at driving as a completely involving experience, not to be spoiled by cell phones, food, or drink. You should be focused on what you are doing on the road.

How refreshing.
