Yep. By the era in question in Europe if you had money for a C64 disk drive you were buying an ST or Amiga instead.

I don’t think many on the western side of the Atlantic appreciate how relatively poor, and tight fisted, much of Europe was and remains, even the good bits.

Where I grew up in Europe we had the 1541 disk drive before the Amiga came. Several people I grew up with had the C64 bread bin, the 1541 floppy drive, the cassette tape and a 9 pin printer. I only met one guy who had an Amstrad.

EU? Switzerland being the worst!

1) indicators ( eu flashing yellow ones) are getting smaller: ok at night, but during the day...very hard to see. I prefer the US red brake/ blinker to these tiny mf's.

*2 Animated (EU only?) yellow indicators. The transition between each segment (usually five?) is always too slow, and very distracting. I prefer the US, and very terrible, blinky-brake lights to these disco-on-xanax horrors.

3. Why can’t there be a sign for 'zippering' where traffic merges?

4 - Why can’t people just zipper-in anyway?

Regarding point 3. Different countries we have slightly different signs and road markings but signs for merging is a thing. Example from Denmark: https://koerekort--guiden-dk.translate.goog/sammenfletning/?...

I remember when driving in the EU (France) that most cars allow you to adjust the angle of the beams, so you may have more light but it's often pointed down.

Unsure if that was just the few vehicles I drove or if it's EU-wide.

The adjustment you’re mentioning is most likely the knob for angle adjustment which are used if driving with a heavy load in the back. Some cars has suspension which levels the car automatically, for those the adjustment isn’t necessary.
