According to one intrepid Redditor, drivers in Luxembourg have developed a unique talent for honking at the “smallest inconvenience.” Whether it’s crossing the street on a designated zebra crossing or executing a daring left turn into a parking lot, it seems like no situation is safe from a symphony of honks.
Some readers chimed in, claiming that the honking epidemic is most prevalent during rush hours, when the patience of motorists can wear thin. They shared tales of drivers neglecting to yield to pedestrians on zebra crossings, creating a real-life game of dodging cars for those on foot.
One witty commenter even turned the chaos into a daily game, where the winner is the one whose right-of-way is stolen the fewest times. However, they quickly noted that winning this game is as elusive as finding a unicorn on the Autobahn.

Others painted vivid pictures of the madness on Luxembourg’s roads. From navigating through lanes straddling Peugeot 308s to encountering self-proclaimed left-lane queens driving at a snail’s pace, it’s a daily adventure filled with surprises. And let’s not forget the fascinating mix of drivers hailing from 190 different countries, each with their own driving habits. It’s an anthropological study in itself, as diverse customs clash on the road, leading to confusion and bewilderment. Some attribute the mayhem to the constant construction and detours that plague the roads, testing the patience of even the most Zen-like drivers.
One Redditor hilariously pointed out a peculiar phenomenon: “You change lanes and drive 130 km/h and mind your business driving the speed limit and then when you put some distance and change lanes safely back to the left you get flashed and shown the finger with so much respect. This is also the part where they accelerate now fuming with respect that you bothered their OnlyFans browsing.”
As another commenter aptly noted, it’s not that people have become worse drivers, but rather, the population has nearly doubled, resulting in an increase in the number of challenging encounters on the road. It’s a mathematical equation we could do without!
It seems that not many people were spared some unpleasant road-encounters in Luxembourg... So dear readers, may the road be ever in your favor, and may your OnlyFans browsing never impede the flow of traffic!
