Maybe if we built cars that were better made for handling and braking instead of solid axle, big block V8, awesome in a straight line but holy s*** when a curve comes, 70% vehicle weight over the front and none in the rear but our wheels spin there with no traction causing excessive oversteer crap cars, we might have a good system like they have in Deutschland!There's nothing wrong with North American cars , they could handle . But the mentality needs a change (I don't see this happening ) . Usually drivers there know their limits and their car's limits and most of them have the common sense to stay to the right when they are not in a "hurry ". You won't see a Smart on the left lane unless it's a bumper to bumper traffic .
I'm done my venting.
