   The road requires cooperation, not extreme competition.

   Just a small comment. The word "cooperation" implies more than it's stated in   
   the traffic codes, irrelevant of enforcement. It means seeing yourself as part   
   of a whole or caring for the other driver. An ant colony couldn't work without   
   it.   
      
   And yet the German road system is highly competitive as well. Better skills,   
   better car, determines who's fittest.
