Yes, that seems like a better way.

Where I live you can observe many drivers who never indicate. This arises from a lack of police to enforce the traffic code and a huge reliance on cameras as revenue raising tools i.e. if a camera can't catch the misdemeanor you are OK to do it.

Happens in the UK, in all cicumstances when drivers are turning or doing anything, halfway round a corner, on a roundabout, changing lanes, stopping ... even worse are the morons who think hazard warning lights are a substitute for all signals.

hazard warning lights? don't you mean park anywhere lights?

oh I wish they had lights to denote that occurring, admittedly some driver would have them on permanently but any warning would help

Happens in Slovenia too. And a lot of people don't turn their turn signals at roundabouts - so if you are waiting to enter one,
you have to guess where he/she is going to go out. I usually wait like an idiot, almost crashed a few times by being too eager in that kind of a situation.
Never mind people telling you where they came from, not where they are going.
And also what is it with the people who go out of the motorway but brake to almost 60kph(before driving at least 120) then go on to the lane
that leads out, isn't that supposed to be the other way around ?

I was looking up the Autobahn and noticed in some of the pics, that the German police have Audi police cars. Cool. Audi automobiles are considered higher end here in the States and our police would never buy a fleet of Audi cars.
BTW, how fast were you going, on average? Most of our highways here in the States are max 55-65 mph.

Interesting, why limit at 55 mph?
65 mph is not that different, only about 12 mph difference to the limit we have in Slovenia. Which no one keeps anyway - sometimes me included.

Good question. I have yet to meet someone who has a good answer.
I think it might have something to do with the idea that much lower speed limits, saves lives, but I don't necessarily buy into that logic.

Well I can understand that when people see a speed limit, they say I'm driving just a few miles over the limit, so that shouldn't be a problem. And it is logical, that
speed limits are a bit lower in towns or on dangerous roads. But driving on a long straight road, there as you have written I also don't agree with the logic of
slower speed = saving lives.

Well I was in Autobahn exiting the 120 Km/h section to Unlimited Speed area. So I was acceleratiing to 160 km/h ( thats the max my car can take without giving any vibration). I think he jumped into my lane when I was around 145-150

I would love to go that fast on straight routes without reprisal from the cops. I understand the speed restrictions in certain areas, as is implemented with the Autobahn, and I think it is a good idea but for the straight routes I think the U.S. could raise the speed limit considerably.

In my daily commute to work of 50 km , I have only 15 km of Unlimited speed limit. And that gets covered in just a minute 
Yes ,but in gneral you will have stretch of straight roads with no speed limits ( only in autobahns) and thats why Poice here need to have a top end Cars so that atleast they can make an attempt for a car chase.

That's one of my pet peeves. I rode with my ex wifes friend one time that didn't use them and when she made a turn I asked her why and she said "I know where I'm going"? What an idiot!
