I've noticed rather friendly driving in most scandinavian countries in
general... Dutch roads can be hell, german autobahns even more so.
Roads are also much quieter. Guess it's time to move.
BTW: Anyone who can point me to some schematics for those big LED matrix
displays ? I get pretty sick of those bozos who insist on driving only 2
metres behind my rear bumper when doing over 75mph... Think a sign flashing
something like "you're not keeping enough distance. Your license plate is
noted. The Road Control Authority" would scare them off. There is no
such organisation in .nl so I would be in the clear as far as
impersonating goes... A small photoflash hidden in the reverse lights to
suggest the taking of photos (normal police practice in .nl) might be used
to complete the illusion.
BTW2: A cheap&fast trick is to wire an extra switch to your brake
lights... When you get annoyed, just flip the switch and watch that
asshole in the rear view mirror as he hits the brakes while you happily
drive on.
