Most people here drive at least 80 on the freeway, if you're not going fast, if you're not gonna get outta my way, i'm going to pass your ass. It's not bad driving, it's the whole concept of GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY WAY YOU'RE GOING TOO SLOW FOR MY LIKING.  Americans in general suck at driving? Maybe. But we do have too god damned many people in this country.

Don't you have to pass drivers ed? Don't they teach you to "keep right except to pass"? Most people speed like crazy here too, but most move to the slow lane if they are impeading the flow of traffic. Notice I said most rather than all, we have idiots here too. Passing on the right seems to be the norm when I'm down in the states.
I don't buy the 'we have too many people' bit. I've driven on very busy roads in Europe, so I know people can drive good in crowded situations.
