          You can drive though the Netherlands in 3h, for Americant’s that means there are no sticks.

            Drive though the Netherlands in 3h

            It takes 1 hour to get from Germany in the east to Belgium in the west.

                If I can get from Dortmund in Germany to Calais in France in 4,5 - 5 hours (including stopping to fill up), I sure as hell don’t need 3 hours to go across the Netherlands.

                I used to drive regularly to Antwerp from Dortmund in a truck and it took between 3,5 and 4 hours.

                    I see you edited your reply.

                    Germany in the east means: eastern side of the Netherlands, and Belgium in the west means: western side of the Netherlands. I also stated my start and end point for driving a truck, Dortmund and Antwerp. Again, go look at a map.

                    As you don’t have the ability to look at, and understand a map, I must assume my educational level is higher than yours.

                    You are about as intelligent as a metre of hard shoulder on a highway.

          The Netherlands is less than half the size of my state. There is nowhere in the Netherlands that is more rural than where I live right now, lol.
