I was stationed in England in the early 90's didn't find there Exam's any tougher than USAs. Just different terminology. Like "Zebra crossing". My impression was they are crazy. Motorcycles passing between two cars going the opposite direction at 65 plus on narrow two lane black top. Driving 70 plus in the fog so dense you can see 3 white lines ahead of you.
I felt I was stuck back in the 60s in the USA, oldie songs on the radio, some new cars still had manual chokes, narrow two lane black top roads, some even one lane from villages to villages in spots. Can't comment on Germany. will agree about roundabouts here in the villages, most stop when no traffic coming when all they have to do is yield and go. But, at stop signs the coast through or pull through the signs or white lines across the road when you have the right away you don't know if they are stopping or not, Then, they give you the go to hell look. Before you are in line you have to stop at the stop sign......and preferable BEHIND IT not car length after it!
