snip Larry, Some of my recollections from driving in Europe are very similiar. In Germany and Austria the driving style looked to me to be very precise. A big difference that I noted was the higher l

Glad you enjoyed your visit to Europe, Larry. Maybe one day someone on the lists will write of their trip to the US ...

You have very accurately expanded on what we experienced in Germany. I was in the Engineers/Army 40 years ago, and had a little VW. The first time on the Autobahn was a real wake up call with the BMW

PS. When the police came to the accident, the police asked several times, as he did the report, if I was injured. He said that we would go through a different report if I was injured, and there was a

That's very interesting. My father told me many times of the German POWs working at Wright Field during the war. Most of the captured German aircraft were shipped to Wright Field and evaluated there.

My dad told me about going to stare at the German POWs in the Philadephia armory during WWII, fascinating for a young teenager, I'm sure. It does seem a long way to tote them, though. Bill

I hate to admit it, but they do have a better system of driving over there. One of the key differences is that they go to a driving school which costs about $2,000-$4,000. if they fail at the end, th

Another little thing is that when the lights change, they go first to yellow for a very short time and then to green. Since most of the cars in Europe are stick shift, this give time to get in gear,

Less surprisingly, we had many German and Italian POW's in the UK. They were mostly put to work (paid) on the land, alongside the womens's land-army, which my mother was a member of. The interesting

I have to confess to using mostly the fast lane on the Autobahns in Germany, as we are restricted to a legal max of 70mph here in the UK. There is something a bit decadent but liberating about cruisi

As a resident in the UK it's good to see you enjoyed the driving, I think anyone who enjoys driving likes it even more when it's different. However we like every one else have our fair share of bad d
