When I drove back to Belgium from the Netherlands as a teen, you could tell you're back in Belgium when the car started to rattle from the crappy road conditions. Now it's getting better but still noticeable. You could almost do the same thing when you go from Flanders to Wallonia where the roads are worse in Wallonia.
Ja, aber diese 2 Ampeln auf der A12 sind sehr störend. die A12 zwischen Antwerpen und Brüssel hätte längst schon einstöckig sein sollen. Naja, Belgien, immer im zweifel. und es gibt noch viele unvollendete versteckte Juwelen in Belgien.

Here in the United States, I am teaching myself how to drive like the European drivers in Europe. I've mastered overtaking, driving in kilometers and building up speed to merge onto the autoroutes (motorways or freeways) and giving way to traffic through merging onto a crowded motorway. If it is clear, build up speed by speeding up. I want to be as discipline as the European drivers, know the art of lane etiquette, put a lot of effort in driving, driving through a roundabout and know the changing of speed limit signs. This E19 autoroute from Antwerp to Brussels is a fascinating drive. After I move to France (Republique francaise), and drive on the French autoroute, I will pop into Belgium and drive on the roads there. Been to Belgium, and I hope I go there again in the future. Vive la Belgique The music to this video is a nice touch. I've enjoyed the drive and the music in this video. Merci beaucoup
@@user-ch7ti6gq1m Well in the US, people don't know the rules of the road and they don't care. Road rage, people cutting each other off on dual carriageways/motorways, eating while they're driving, driving while they're driving and weaving dangerously between cars on the motorway while overtaking and driving like total maniacs. Add in poor driving education and the parents passing on bad habits to their children as they teach them how to drive, the United States is a country with bad drivers. Plus, in the USA, you will never learn about driving through roundabouts, knowing the metric system and knowing the skills to drive a motor vehicle of speeds up to 130 kilometres per hour. Honestly, I like the metric system better than the imperial system. It is easy to understand. Americans hate the metric system and roundabouts. And they don't follow the proper rules of the road. Driving in the United States is not a privilege. It is necessity, because Americans drive cars to get to where they need to go and they don't drive for pleasure. I hope that answer your question, : D. merci.
@@newmanchester8504Thank you for answering my question. That all sounds awful. What surprises me most is that roundabouts aren't more common there. I can only imagine how much traffic gets slowed down because of that.
@@user-ch7ti6gq1m, I don't like driving in America. I am sharing the road with drivers who don't care about my safety and others. Driving in America isn't as safe as driving in Europe. The infrastructure is in bad shape and crumbling. The roads have pot holes and cracks. Roads in Michigan are in horrible shape. And speaking of roundabouts, there is a roundabout in a city that is about 5 miles away (8 kilometers) from where I live. The set up doesn't look right. It looks like a traditional standard roundabout, but it has stop signs instead of give way signs at every road approach. It also has a keep right sign on the island in the middle and two give way signs at a road merge near a road that runs straight through next to the roundabout. No roundabout ahead signs and no roundabout guide sign for the roundabout. Plus, the roundabout has a lot of cracks and potholes. As bad as American drivers are, not all of 'em, the bad ones will hit your car in a car crash and blame you for causing the accident when the police officer interviews you and the other person, and investigates the crash. This happens in Dallas and Houston in the U.S. state of Texas. You don't feel good inside after driving in the USA. It isn't good. Thank you for replying to me, :D.
@@newmanchester8504 What about in Asia? Would you willing to drive on Asian expressway? Japan has the safest expressway that you can drive on but they drive on the left.
You really have the feeling of being in a big metropolitan area while driving this motorway. Drove it also a few times, the last time in summer. Tried also the A12, an interesting alternative route between Antwerp and Brussels. Thanks for sharing it. greetings from a fellow roadtripper from Germany!
A12 is a peculiar route, partially a motorway but it also has traffic lights. That viaduct through Wilrijk and the depressed section through Boom have a 1960s American freeway design feel to it.
Heb 5 jaar in Antwerpen gewoont, heb 2 jaar in Vilvoorde gewerkt,. Mijn huidige werk is zichtbaar ter hoogte van afrit Mechelen-Zuid. Ik woon nu in een dorp, dat op 6.9 km van Afrit Zemst ligt.
Although this is one of the most important stretches of motorway in Flanders, it looks outdated and fairly poor maintained with all those trees hanging over the hard shoulder. The pavement is bumpy, crowded and dirty parking lots. To me it is a boring experience to drive over here. Despite all my complaints, thanks for uploading this video :)

Dutch people always tell me this. Usually because they have to drive to Antwerp from the Netherlands to go to university for free.

Why would that be something you need to learn? Does it not work like that in the US? Forgive my ignorance, I've never been there before

@@EuropeanRoads Yes that's totally true. Was definetely a very interesting drive. Also A1, withe the large median, has an american feeling.
Good evening do you mind me asking how long you drove?
Great song selections. I've used the Midnight in some of my videos as well. the up beat saxaphone songs have a cool vibe.
19 years...almost every day I drove this part of the E19
Good video and beatiful video!
Thanks! :)
Around 1:55 the exit to the right is Berchem and not Borgherout. Borgerhout is the one before.
Yes, I accidentally inserted the wrong sign there! :-)
I absolutely adore the midnight! Have you played Memories by them in any of your vids?
Great video, love watching it and listening to the songs!
I love it!
Leuke video en gave straten. Welke dashcam is dit? Beeld is superscherp

Een zondagochtend rond 9 uur.

Nice motoraway...
Is de rechterrijstrook verboden terrein in België?
Die rechte Spur ist Lava
haha stimmt
Voorbehouden voor trage chauffeurs.
Nice! Do you plan to visit Greece so you'll pass through Serbia and film Serbian highway A1?
Leuker, dank je wel :)
Nice 😊👍🏻
Where do you find the songs you put in your videos? 🧐 🇪🇺
UA-cam! :-)
They're (The Midnight) also on Spotify. Lol, I looked them up after this video.
U zal de E19 Brussel-nijvel-Bergen filmen? Vous allez filmer la E19 Bruxelles-Nivelles-Mons?
Did i missed something?
Where is the exit to Lier?
Cause i don't saw it in this video.
It's the number 8 or 9 (both can be used). I'm not sure if Lier is mentioned on the actual signs, it's quite far from the highway.
Combien de fois j'ai pris cette route ! Ça fait trop bizarre ! 😳🤣👍
Elke weekdag s'morgensvroeg een nachtmerrie.
Dikke miserie altijd de E19
Duffel bags? Didn't they go out with the mangle?
Better the highway E25 Liège to Luxemburg
Europan roads fantastic roads
Atleast better then the A12 route which is just terrible.
A 12 is good
Must be CGI, totally unrealistic : no traffic jams whatsoever.
