Which definition of Europe are you using? That is, are you including the uK (recently in the EU but no longer)? >Every truck is in the right most lane, unless they are passing which >isn’t common.

I've never been in the US, but I've driven tour coaches in France albeit not all that recently. > trucking which is designed for large trucks and fast speeds. The US roads you're talking about - and the European ones - are presumably just the (UK) motorways, German autobahns etc. There's significantly smaller roads in a lot of places. Eg there are no motorways in Scotland north of Perth or thereabouts. But the supermarkets still send 44 ton trucks up there.

There must be some exceptions to that, maybe in older vehicles. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
