Australian highways and freeways comparable to Germanys roads

It seems we have something about our road system in Australia that is comparable to Germany's great arterial road system, including the autbahn. We still have a way to go, but we are getting there and are one of the countries of the world getting closest to being like Germany's road system It has been noted that we have most of our slow drivers sticking to the RH lane, which is exactly how the road system operates in Germany. Faster cars overtake on the left, as do most cars here on our Australian freeways. We are not at 100% compliant with having all slow cars in the RH lane, but the percentage is always increasing.

Just shows you don't need a motorbike to get through the traffic...an R8 will do the job nicely.

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

I've noticed quiet a few times when people merge onto a freeway that they go straight to right lane even though the left lane is clear

The official offence is;
Rule 130 (1)(a)&(2) Drive in right lane on road with speed limit over 80kmh Penalty $325

So it only applies to the right hand lane.

I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂
