Life is a Highway

In Israel:
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli police investigating why a car was blocking traffic in the fast lane of a major highway on Sunday found a couple inside having sex.

A police spokesman said the female driver and her male passenger gave in to their passions without pulling over to the side of the road, causing congestion and leaving other motorists having to swerve to dodge their stationary vehicle.

A patrolman gave the woman a ticket for holding up traffic.
Only a ticket - now that's liberal or is it libertine? But maybe there's another explanation. Israel is a small country which makes every square inch of space valuable; therefore, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume parking or hotel rooms are outrageously priced…

She must have just wanted a quickie, otherwise she would have chosen the slow lane, one would think..
