Pieter,
Peru is much more chaotic than Europe. It is not the peoples fault, but rather a lack of the infrastructure creates a chaos. Americans have large and comfortable roads, but not enough mass transport, everybody has to have his/her truck
Jaga,
Unfortunately this often happens in our densly populated, crowded, North-Western corner of Europe. Sometimes it seems like people are crazy and don't care about speed limits (the money they will have to pay, because they are registered by camera's and speed limit machines along the highways and roads) and just drive like maniacs. I often see in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, but certainly in Belgium, France and Italy that people drive like idiots (maniacs). Fast, faster, fast. Europeans like to drive fast and cross the speed limits.
But the price can be heavy fines, confiscated driving licences and in cases of extreme speed plus alcohol or drugs the confiscation of cars. Accidents in small narrow roads, country roads, and thus inside villages, towns and cities happend when fast drivers, drunk drivers or careless drivers kill children, elderly people, school kids, students or just pedestrians or cyclists on roads.
I believe the European highways or roads sometimes must look like anarchistic chaos for Americans, who are disciplined drivers and have strict speed limits.
Cheers,
Pieter

Pieter, this guy was really speeding up and needed to be stopped. He was dangerous and intimidating to other drives. Glad that Dutch and German police cooperated.
