ou know exactly who you are… and self-righteous on top of it, huh?

 

Why do Prius' feel the need to park in the left lane at 5 under?

 

Just got back from Germany.
I was driving 170 mph safely. The experience made me realize how differently Europeans approach driving. It all comes down to personal responsibility.

In much of Europe, people understand that their actions have consequences, and they take ownership of them. That mindset makes things like high-speed driving possible and the penalties are severe for those who don’t follow the rules.

Unfortunately, this is something America seems to have lost. Our legal system often encourages a blame culture someone else is always at fault, and someone else is going to pay for it. Insurance companies have played a big part in that, too.

The Autobahn could never exist here, because high-speed driving will always be seen as dangerous as long as there’s an accident attorney waiting in the wings.
