It's not the "fast lane", it's the second overtaking lane. Labels such as "fast lane" and "slow lane" contribute to the misconception that different speeds =3D different lanes, leading to more lane-hogging (although of course plenty of people do it deliberately to hold people up, e.g. self-righteous pillocks, control freaks and/or other-motorist- haters like Chapman).

Oh, and you were using a RHD car in Germany, meaning that 100mph there was *more* dangerous than it would have been here. Just makes your "The Law means everything and common sense means nothing" attitude even more perverse.

Sorry, but it's true. ;-)
