Its a double edge sword really -- In the US any idiot (don't even have to speak English) can get a DL. That plus pretty much anybody can buy and afford to drive a car in the US which means every idiot and their brother can drive and is on the road at any given time. In Europe its harder to get a DL and it is very expensive on both accounts to own and operate a vehicle.
So with more chances in the US for slugs to be on the road the better chance you are going to have some one that takes driving as a way to get from point A to B and will sit on their phone and have no clue they suck up the left lane and that people actually are paying attention and driving. On the flip-side one of the greatest things in the US is the fact that anyone can drive and afford to drive - I wouldn't trade that for anything as it is much of the fabric that makes this a great country to live in.
While I generally lane hop due to these idiots sometimes I will sit behind them and honk them out...especially when I see they are on the cell phone or doing something else distracting. If your obnoxious enough they will move and I bet they won't look at you as you pass - oh the feeling of guilt. Must be that obnoxious Yankee in me;)
