In PL everyone drives in the 'slow' lane even if they're travelling fast and everybody who sees you in the RVM would let you pass by. Maybe this is due to the density of traffic. Here only the fast lane is for overtaking, the inside lanes are for those who slower.
I have to admit that one thing would annoy me: when you're driving behind a car in the fastlane he won't move to the middle one (like in 14:15 ). The same refers to the middle lane. Does this mean that there are a different speed limits for each lane?
@Xjarq No, same speed limit, we dont have speed limits per each lane, unfortunately lots of ignorants or anarchists or simply assholes who think they own the freakin' road, they look in the RVM, they see you flashing your lights and/or honking the horn and... they give you the finger as in f*** you, not much you can do, only try to find a way to pass on the right side and then get back in the left lane, I do that on the regular basis unless I wanna stay behind a moron doing the speed limit only!
On my 'Conversations' course I have to make at least one presentation in a semester . I just have to make a speech on any topic I want.
"Plus I very well know that very few europeans, especially young ones like you, have no idea how traffic, cars, trucks look like in N America..." That's why I want show them how it really looks like
And believe me I'm not an ordinary person with no interests, I study the American culture to pass exams. For me it's obligatory to know everything about the US.
@Xjarq Sure, I have nothing against your study course, but you realize that from commenting on some freakin' ordinary driving videos all the way to American culture is a pretty long way, didn't know that you're so much into this very non-european subject, good for you and I wish you from the bottom of my heart the highest marks in school and all the best after that, real-life, private market, when you have to find a job, right?
What university are you at and is state-run or private one?
I've always been interested in cars, not only European but American also. I were in Germany, Netherlands and the UK and I have to admit that American driving style is more like in western Europe than in Eastern Eu. The biggest difference is that Americans have a lot more PATIENCE.
East European Higher State School, I study English Philology with additional Ukrainian-Expert specialization (two foreign languages are more profitable).
@Xjarq "American driving style is more like in western Europe than in Eastern Eu." That's when you live in CIVILIZED countries, where pretty much everybody, but not all, fully respect our local laws, plus, why we have LEO's around us, you know the song of that famous TV-series, Cops: Bad boy, bad boy, what you gonna do when they come for you !!! LOL right? LOL
All cops in Canada and USA are fully armed, so... Welcome to America! LOL
@Xjarq If you have ANY questions, and you feel more comfortable in private, simply PM me with any questions you might have, if I can help in any way, why not, you wont bother me at all, hopefully I'll be able to answer your questions entirelly!
BTW, don't worry, I know european english might be different than american english, over here we use the word 'mandatory' and not 'obligatory', nobody uses that word 'obligatory' in real life, TV, radio, etc.
@Xjarq ...or: "For me it's a MUST to know everything about the US"
'Mandatory' or 'a must', same effect, both used by everybody around here.
Ask anything you want, canadian culture (i'm canadian citizen) and american one are pretty much similar, history is different, canada with the british, america on its own, Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, etc., I've been to 48/50 states, by car only, allways enjoy talking to the locals about everything, politics included:
@Xjarq " I haven't known"... replace it with "I didn't know", that 'did' thing is way more used on the street than the 'have' one, 'have' is more for the academic use when 'did' is for regular folks, for instance you got pulled over by cops and sometimes you dont know what happened so you simply ask "what did i do, officer?" or "why did you pull me over, officer?", also in some cases is equally used, "have you seen that movie?" or "did you see that movie?", no difference at all...
'I haven't known' is not the same as 'I didn't know'. Those are two different grammatical structures. The first example is the use of present perfect tense and the second one is past simple tense. I know that Americans don't use the first one, but the British do so.
Difference:
I haven't know = you don't know something for a long time and you discover it before the moment of speaking.
I didn't know = you did not know something back in past not just before the moment of speaking
@Xjarq English language spoken over here is different than the one in Europe, way simpler than in Europe, here very rarely you see people using the rules you in Europe are used to, why this? immigrants... over time, past 2 centuries, have changed the way you speak original english language, what you're talking about NOBODY pays any attention in real life over here so... broken english, grammar, is many times more spoken than the correct one... all I can tell you and no reason to lie to you...
I guess tha basis of AmE is: if we understand each other, nothing else matters... how many first-generation immigrants have ever been to a school where you get to learn english??? You learn it from the street from the guy/girl who him/herself speaks with bad grammar even he/she's been here for decades!!!
Ex: 'ain't me' or ' how u doin' ' ... yes, no 'g'
Can you watch Sopranos, that TV-series once played on HBO, that's the english we all speak over here...
The differences between AmE and BrE are so big that I'm considering them as a dissertation theme.
But yes, I know that American Spoken English is waaaay different of which I'm learning. It depends on which variety of English one chooses to learn. BrE is the most developed one so they teach it in European schools.
@Xjarq "That's why I =want= show them..." I wanna show them...
You speak/write the english you've learned in school, european schools, but word on the street, NY, LA, Miami, Detroit, etc. is a kind of different than the one you are used to, I dont blame you at all, there is no english as official language in Poland and most of Europe so you're learning what others teach you in school, very good, but then you got no hands-on practice with anybody around you, in english of course...
Everyone drives calm and patiently. More like in the Netherlands. Traffic is much heavier than on Polish highways (also more like in the Netherlands). Especially while overtaking people are more patient but that may be because of very good roads. What would bother me is the density of traffic.
@Xjarq When I left Europe Berlin Wall was still on and no bridge btwn Sweden and Danmark so I would love to compare traffic btwn Europe and Toronto but... LOL
Also if you wanna see how americans are driving down in the states, you've got about 35 episodes of my "Road Trip to Florida" adventure on 4 wheels starting here:
@Xjarq I think you have better things to do in life or school than YT reports of how people drive their cars on different continents or countries, but hey, YT is free for everybody so, report no report, my videos are outthere for everybody to watch them and hopefully enjoy them, nobody can say anything bad at least about their quality, right?
Plus I very well know that very few europeans, especially young ones like you, have no idea how traffic, cars, trucks look like in N America, so enjoy it!
@LEOENFORCEMENT LOL on Oct 25 we have mayoral elections, finally I have a candidate I can vote for, Rob Ford, socially conservative but especially fiscally-conservative, he's identical in ideas with the new NJ Gov Chris Christie, CUT TAXES (city level), CUT SPENDING, the only candidate (5 in total) who is against TOLL roads, who is against bike lanes, his motto: "Roads are 4 cars, trucks and buses only!", mainstream LIBERAL media hate his guts, he's also a very succesfull business owner...
i usually bail off the 403, then catch the 401 eastbound when i'm approaching toronto....
