I can't put my finger on it but there seems to be an anger and self-importance in these men(and the ones we've seen last 2 trips were men) driving big sedans like S class Mercedes/BMW/Audi who drive at over 200km/h and who seem furious with anyone and everyone on the road. They're very disrespectful. And no, we were not in the left lane blocking their progress, we were in the right lane being driven by German friends. Has anyone else noticed this?
Almost everyone raves about how safe German drivers are but we saw drivers driving dangerously fast, 240km/h at night seems dangerous, and I can't tell you about the number of bad accidents we saw.
Maybe, after years and years, these men are sick and tired of being taxed too much by the German federal government. Isn't income tax way over 50%?
