Back in 1979 I took delivery of a new Rabbit diesel in Europe. It would top out at 80 MPH on the Autobahn so had to stay in the right lane except when passing trucks limited to 90 KPH or 56 MPH. When in the left lane you are supposed to leave your left turn signal on as a warning to the Mercedes & BMWs going 150+ MPH that you are passing in the left lane. Except for passing you MUST stay in the right lane in Europe. This is why Citroen didn't install self canceling turn signals in their cars.
My x-wife managed to get a 90 MPH speeding ticket coming down the mountain grade on I-80 west of Laramie, Wyoming in the same Rabbit.
