Dutch Drivers

The Dutch Minisry of Travel has confirmed my concerns regarding the fact that Dutch drivers are far too aggresive. It's the strangest thing, I'm not an aggresive driver but as you enter the flow of traffic on the roads here you are forced to be aggressive. The traffic lights are timed very short on green. This makes you very anxious and willing to do what ever it takes to get through the light for the 3 seconds its green. On the highway if you don't keep the distance between you and the car in front of you to a minimum people wedge themselves in. It's annoying and dangerous. They have started a campaign I Love Traffic Rules. It features big boobed women with shirts on that say "I heart [love] to give way to cyclists from the right".
