A differing five cents:
Germany is the best country in the world in which to drive.
Drivers are trained well. They look before they turn. THEY DON'T USE THE LEFT LANE AS A CRUISING LANE - they move over, pass, and return to the right lane. They use their turn signal.
You can go very, very fast in situations where it's warranted. In situations where it's not, people slow down. As someone who walks, rides a bike, and enjoys not being deafened by road noise in towns, this is good.
My experience driving has primarily been California, Ireland, and Germany, and Germany has been _far_ superior to the other two.
