Here in finland I experience a crapload of overtakes. There is a social bias on Vaz:es, peoples mindsets is that that these cars are ****e, frequently breaking junkers.

Kind of a eastern AMC Pacer I think?

(The ACTUAL reason why vaz/Lada was crap is because it was cheap, so people wouldn't bother to take care of them, maintain or rust proof them. So they usually were already in bad shape from the first owner)


Most frequently it's a Audi, BMW's, or relatively new car that tend to overtake me.

And if I drive behind a semi they usually pass that too in the same overtake. Seen helluva lot of last minute lane merging

I wonder if I should install my dash cam again and make a thread about finnish traffic culture, and post vids of best overtakes.

I don't use P&G on highways because people get so angry.

Funniest thing that have passed me must be a 1.0 Daewoo Matiz.
