Damn right, I'm from Europe and was absolutely amazed by the sheer amount of people that drive in the left lane, seemingly oblivious of any other cars behind them wanting to overtake! How difficult is it to grasp the concept that the left most lane is usually only for overtaking?!
@@you2be839 because people say theres p0tHolEs in the right lanes!!!! or the right lane is for mErgInG only!!!. Well in major cities where theres a lot of ramps sure. but theres 3 - 4 lane highways that have miles between ramps and people just dont move right.
@@kevw172 The issue isn't so much about driving on the left to avoid a more deteriorated right lane on some road sections because that's usually where trucks do the heavy hitting, and depending on the road section, we also do that here. The thing that surprised me the most watching these US interstate videos is that many of them simply don't move to the right lane when they see (or simply don't see) a faster car approaching and wanting to overtake... even on 3 lane sections, with plenty of overtakes done by the right, which is generally more dangerous and illegal in many countries!! And while you do get to see overtakes done by the right here in Europe (because someone was also sleeping in the left lane and got fed up waiting), it's a lot rarer to see and what usually happens is the driver wanting to overtake flashing the headlights or horn to signal they want to overtake.
OK, I-10 and now I-80 done... over "8500km real-time" on the "video road" over the last few weeks... I've really never spent so much time on road trips in all my life, be it real trips or video trips, usually it's never more than 4000km, roundtrip!! But I still don't have a single good reason for actually making these entire interstate road trips on my own just for the sake of doing them... but maybe with somebody else: to go do this, to visit that, to eat this, to experience that, to sleep there, to buy that...
I also like how you drive in the right lanes. I wish we did this more in the US..

2:32:35 the transition between the blue sky and grey is crazy
And I also like those hills starting at 2:32:30, it looks like a painting.
Been waiting for this one!
