Yes we have, the truck have to pass in like 12 seconds or under. But that doesnt really work. They are like 1km/h faster and try passing anyway

But there are also many autobahn kilometers where trucks aren't allowed to pass other trucks or cars.

It gets ugly if someone decides he wants to travel less than 90km/h because truck drivers are always late and always have to drive the maximum allowed speed or their truck will explode.

Overloaded trucks on steep hills also a problem; They are underpowered and thus drive like half the speed they could.

I think the biggest issue with blocking the middle lane in Germany is, that many people can't pass someone in the middle lane because the left lane is too fast for them or at least you always have to suspect someone flying in with like 300km/h

Oh the left lane is war. Even if u travel with like 220km/h there is someone with flashing lights behind u who wants to pass. But there are not much autobahn kilometers were u are allowed to drive that fast. Its almost everywere under construction.

I think in the usa for example u are allowed to pass on the right, in Germany u have to pass on the left and arent allowed to pass on the right. So in my opinion the biggest problem are people who drive always on the most left lane and stay slow. Another big problem is the unlimited speed, people arent good in breaking on a good level. So they are the reason for traffic jam. There is a physicaly law witch explains that. I just know the german name and tried to translate it, but im not sure if thats the correct term. Retarded motion? In germany its "gleichmässig verzögerte Beschleunigung"
