Oh, no we don't, which is a part of the highway problem we have.
Our gas taxes are just about the lowest in the world, and they support a federal highway system built intentionally to lower standards than the autobahn (autobahn pavement is much thicker and thus requires much less maintenance).
I would gladly pay a higher gas tax if the interstates were up to autobahn standards.

I agree completely! And we hand out driver's licenses like they are rights instead of privileges. The most I have had to do to renew my driver's license since I was sixteen is identify a few road signs before being pushed out the door. No wonder so many people don't know what the left lane is for.
Got to love those drivers in the left lane hypermiling
