Over here in germany, the government almost always picks the contractor who makes the cheapest offer for any given job. That almost always leads to them not finishing the job, so roads stay closed until the government picks a new contractor. And if they don't pick a new contractor for 6 months, there are no consequences whatsoever.

This dispels so many of my assumptions about German efficiency. I’ve always wanted to drive the autobahn. Please tell me that would be enjoyable…

Do you like driving long stretches of road?

If I can drive fast while blasting bidibodi, then yes.
