I wish something could be done about that problem.
Another thing is here in the USA in most areas on Interstates and freeways
(what I think you'd call "motorways", with 60-75 mph traffic in the
"slow" lane) economy cars with Euro-horsepower would be traffic hazards
during "rush" hours; they simply don't have the "juice" needed to cleanly
merge into traffic.
