It should definitely be on the law books and illegal and heavily fined for anyone in the left lane who ain't passing, period. And along with that, passing on the right is illegal regardless of how many lanes there are.
'Fraid she wouldn't last long on the Autobahn, I'd give her about 30 seconds before a Merc or Beamer literally blew her off the road or done ran her over ;-)
Yes, they almost need air spoilers to keep em on the 'bahn over here without flying, but it is actually quite disciplined, and as long as nobody does anything stupid, the traffic moves fine.
I wish it were that way in USA. The one big difference I can see is that if there is a speed limit of 65mph on the interstate, and you are in the left doing 65, you could say, well, you ain't supposed to be speeding anyway so you can just stay right behind me there. Whereas over here, the sky's the limit on speed, so you gotta keep right unless you are passing. It's is absolutely amazing to pull out to pass when the nearest vehicle is just a speck in the rear view mirror and then watch it grow so fast that before you can pass it's 2 foot off your rear bumper @ 90mph. Hang on baby, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
And Joe, welcome to HC -- I know you've seen it all with a 100 mile daily commute.
