Scenario

[ehowton]

You're all alone on a Texas highway, driving fifteen miles an hour under the posted speed limit. Visibility is several miles all around you and there's not another vehicle in sight. The windows are down - its a nice day. Suddenly, I approach as if from nowhere behind you. Because you're doing 50 in a 65, I indicate, move into the empty oncoming traffic lane, downshift, accelerate, and pass you.

You get very angry.

Why?

Hm. This actually left me a bit confused. Because I don't know how to drive, I've never tried driving and I don't have and need a car. Which you may find strange, [the thing about not having a car] but cars aren't as important here than in your country, I guess.

Imagining the scenario despite my lack of knowledge about cars and American highways, I still checked one of those little boxes and submitted my answer. Which would just mean I really didn't need to comment but I still did. Ha. So yea.

Until I can work from home full time, and given the United States penchant for poor public transportation - and my love for fast cars - I will continue to drive.

When I lived in Germany I lived as you do - no need whatsoever for them.
