Or with motorways where people are regularly wanting to go 160 km/hr or 
faster, and are not afraid to show you they want to :-)

Actually the biggest difference I noticed between UK and German motorways 
are that here in Germany most drivers are really thinking about the other 
cars on the road rather than just themselves.  For example, if they see you 
are behind and have come up quite quickly, they will move over into even a 
small gap just to let you pass, this would NEVER happen in the UK, in fact 
the opposite happens, people deliberately don't move even into massive gaps 
if they notice you are daring to go faster than 70 mph.
