Well, I'll add a couple to those above, although I do have to say driving over here is disciplined, I guess because it costs around 2 grand and 6 months classroom/road instruction to get a license. My #1 PMO:

The lights RED, I'm coasting to it, still 100 yards or so off, double lanes, and you pass me and slam on the brakes because the light is RED. Go figure . . . I wonder if part of all that training drilled into their heads is it's against the law to coast, either foot on the gas or foot on the brake . . .

But a GOOD comment to go along with that one:
Over here on the Autobahn, there is NO speed limit. You ONLY use the left lane to pass, PERIOD. If you think you can stay over there, think again, because there's at least a thousand Porsche's and Mercedes that will be 1 foot off your bumper at 100mph. You still want to poke along in the left lane? I think not, and I think you should get tickets in the states for driving slowly in the left lane -- it's a PASSING lane for crying out loud, and passing on the RIGHT is illegal, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
