I was stationed at Aviano AB back in the early 80's and bought a Fiat Brava so I could get around and see all of Italy or as much as possible and spent plenty of time on the autostrada going to the beaches and I learned the rules of the road quickly flashing headlights from a porsche or ferrari mean get your ass over now!I took a trip through Austria into Germany to go to OktoberFest and then drove over to Frankfort for the International Auto Show where the Porsche 959 was being displayed for the first time,and I will never forget looking up in the rearview at some headlights fast approaching and I'm doing about 120 I looked down for about 1 sec and when I looked back up a Lambo was up my ass flashing his lights and I got over fast he must have been doing 180+.Later on down the road I was passed by a Merkur I think that is what the euro version of ford-mercury called it and all of a sudden traffic came to a stop about 30 minutes down the road the people who passed me in that car slammed into a VW Bus and the person on the passenger side was halfway on the hood and I could see blood coming from the rear passengers ears when we passed,the polizei someone correct me if that spelling is wrong responded quickly with a helicopter even,so they have an ocassional accident,but sure less than here,I vote yes for american autobahn charge an annual fee to register your car and take an advanced driving course and your car must also pass a test to be able to go on the road.
