Only information you don't yet have. Living in Amsterdam one quickly learns to appreciate the lack of space, particularly for automobiles. The Netherlands in general is bursting at the seams on it's traffic infrastructure. The city of Eindhoven for example, has turned to the federal government for assistance, as current traffic levels were not anticipated until 2010. For several years traffic has become consistenly more congested.
Traffic jams totalling hundreds of kilomters daily are the norm.
All this leads to massive amounts of hassle, agression and the need for new and innovative means of transportation. For inter-city travel I fortunately can use My Helicopter , but in the city I now use my Smart Convertible. Alternatively you can close the roof, click the central locking system and crank up the more than ample sound system with the under-seat CD Changer. It was my wife Patricia who really turned me onto thinking about new smaller and more efficient ways of getting from one place to another with as little aggravation as possible. For that I am extremely grateful.
