I am from the Czech Republic. Left lane on highway is informally reserved for "going fast", as in 160-200+ km/h. Right lane is around 120-140 km/h. Oficial speed limit is 130 km/h. Regional roads are limited to 90 km/h, but people travel as fast as 160 km/h on the largest ones. Town areas are limited to 50 km/h unless said otherwise and it required automated radars to get drivers to go less than 90 km/h in many towns on major roads.

People are basically behaving like it's German autobahn everywhere. Even the informal rules have adjusted - in a major city, you not only respect the right hand rule, but also give right of way to all vehicles on the more major road. The conflict is resolved by blinking headlights.

Honda used to be the most popular brand here (90's and first few years of 00's).
