M3 versus Truck, truck wins Now: closing speeds

Exactly- as you said, there is no lane discipline here in the US.

If people religiously followed the traffic rules of the road, it would
not be a problem, but in a country where people regularly change lanes
in front of me (when I'm in the far left lane), refuse to accelerate to
pass
while they're going 65 and I'm going 85 and then refuse to pull back
over into
the middle lane, it's plain dangerous.

When people run red lights and give me the finger when I object, it is
absolutely
stupid.

I'm all for instituting German driver licensing codes and requiring
everyone
else to take public transportation. Then maybe we can raise speed limits
on the
highways to 85-100, traffic and weather conditions permitting. It'll be
a cold day
in hell before that happens.
