  • In Europe (in my case the Netherlands, but it’s similar in surrounding countries) you cannot pass on the right and you can get fined for it. If you do pass on the right you’re taking a bigger risk because it is not expected.

    You can also get fined for staying in the left or middle lane for too long. But that’s somewhat rare. You can get away with it a bit to pass an extra truck (our trucks speed limit is slower) or if the right lane is full and slower than the lane to the left of it, but don’t drive excessively slow on the left. Especially on the Autobahn.


  • Borrowing for a car is becoming normalized in my country, but what’s wrong with just buying a €5-10k car outright? My SO and I have spent a grand total of €12500 on purchasing 3 separate vehicles in about a decade.

    I drive a relatively new electric car for work that is a job perk, but if I wouldn’t I’d just driving to work in our little Mazda 2.

    There is no single part of my house I even want to spend the average new car price on (€43k). That’s retire a year early money.
