I second this.  Recently I had the pleasure of driving on the autobahn
in Germany and France.  Altho I was a little nervous BEFORE we started,
now I'm a believer in good driving habits.  Those crazy people do drive
waaaay too fast, BUT they never pass on the right, they don't weave between
lanes, etc.  Unfortunately they do tend to tailgate pretty heavily, so
so much for total safety.
