My first trip to Europe was eye-opening. First, the autobahn had no speed limit. That was great for making good time, but
dangerous for us newbies who didn’t know how to function. The Porsche’s and BMW’s were in the left lane
doing 200 kph and the trucks were in the right lane doing 40 kph. we had to watch out and be alert. Then in Hungary, when you wanted to pass, you
turned on your left signal and just pulled out.
Drivers on both sides of the two-lane road eased over toward the
shoulder and made three lanes out of two.
It got a little hairy when an oncoming car was passing as well. We never saw a fender-bender, but we often
saw tragically totaled cars. It seemed
that life was so cheap. Drivers would
literally risk their lives just to get one car-length ahead. “…For what is your life? It is even a vapour,
that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” James 4:14 “So teach us to number our days, that we may
apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalm 90:12
