  • In Europe (in my case the Netherlands, but it’s similar in surrounding countries) you cannot pass on the right and you can get fined for it. If you do pass on the right you’re taking a bigger risk because it is not expected.

    You can also get fined for staying in the left or middle lane for too long. But that’s somewhat rare. You can get away with it a bit to pass an extra truck (our trucks speed limit is slower) or if the right lane is full and slower than the lane to the left of it, but don’t drive excessively slow on the left. Especially on the Autobahn.


















  • Nobody’s transportation and time is going to cost less than €0.21 per kilometer, unless you’re riding a bicycle and view that activity as adding value.

    For anyone else, it’s a lump sum kind of thing. You’re compensated for transportation, but you still probably want to live relatively close to your workplace because there is nothing to gain from living far away.

    I’m sure you can defraud the Dutch tax office but they’ll fuck you over big time, and I’m not aware of any such thing going on.
