Didn’t bother me too much – most residential roads in germany are 30kph (18.5mph) with arterial roads being 50kph (31mph), people manage just fine.
It’s the transition that hurts. Did drive a little bit today, it’s a little awkward because i’m not used to it (so i was creeping up constantly), but that’s just something i gotta get used to.
If a driver can’t adjust to changing circumstances, he shouldn’t drive. I’m certainly not happy about the change, but it is what it is, and as mentioned, other folks handle it just fine.
The one thing i will do though is to drive really close to the sidewalk or dead centre in the middle of the road if there’s a bicycle behind me. After years of enjoying their shenanigans, .. my turn now to make myself as much a nuisance as possible.
