The parts on the Autobahn we were driving on when I was there certainly had separate lanes. Also, it's so ingrained in them to move one lane over when a faster car approaches behind them - possibly part of the theory and practice as well in obtaining a license.
How is that any different from the keep left rule in SA?
From what I was told by a local, you can actually get fined driving 180km/h in the fast lane and not moving over for someone behind you approaching at 220km/h.
We have the same rule. But we just don't enforce it. Our metro police are only good at hiding behind bushes and setting up speed traps.
You are wrong.
There'll only be a 30% increase in velocity, so from 120 to 160 which is already quite brisk.
120% increase in wind resistance if my maths is correct. Stick your arm out the window at 120 then at 160. Taxi's would be making a lot of fuel stops. IMHO, economics would slow them down.
It's no different. It's attitude towards rules and other road users that's causing the chaos locally.
Ekuhuleni(east rand) and Pretoria.You are wrong.
They even fail at that. Recalls cops sitting on fold up chairs behind camera. Vehciles approaching sees them, causes a stop-go-stop-go ... mtro sponsored traffic jam at 9am in the morning. Wtf?
Oh, you said "our". Which municipality?
This is how you get plenty of "speedsters" doing 71 in a 60 zone - all on the same day, at the same time, at the same place - and the victims are none the wiser ...
It's OK, as long the phone that he is texting on has an SABC TV License.
I watch altogether too many dashcam videos, and it's very interesting to see the differences between countries. A fried who's been to Russia several times tells me the drivers there are actually very law-abiding.
In large metros like Moscow and St. Petersburg perhaps?
So where are all the dashcam videos coming from?
A man with a hammer will see nails everywhere. It does not mean they were not there before, just that he was not aware of them.
