I'm not sure whether to stick this in here or the observations thread.
What I have observed myself is road rage increases with the introduction of limits (I'm talking specifically about motorways here). I frequently drive in Germany and generally (not always) speaking if someone sees another car catching up they will move over when appropriate.
As soon as I cross the border in the Netherlands it is like they go out of their way to obstruct in a similar manner to "the speed limit is 70 and I'm doing 70, nothing is coming past me in the outside lane today" attitude common in the UK.
If someone wants to go faster than the law dictates why do individuals take it upon themselves to act as officers of the law and obstruct the other ?
They are placing themself in danger for what ?
