    all countries in europe including germany and france (except UK, which is a separate group of island like philippines) are using LHD cars and are driving at the right lanes.

    i was in germany last july with my colleague. i voluntered to drive because he is an english guy who is not familiar LHD cars but refused to give way and he did the driving for the reason that most motorways in germany have no speed limit (not like here in uk) and he was eager to drive fast.

    i agree with niky that 200kph is nothing if the roads are very nice like here in uk or germany. uk's motorway regulation is 70mph (112kph) official speed limit but motoway police allow as much as 100mph (160kph). if the driver is caught driving faster than 100mph, he'll be automatically banned for 4(?) years. that's why i could only drive as fast as 95mph here even if the roads are wide and the car has still the power to run faster.
