When I first walked into the store, I thought it was Polish day at K-Mart. In nearly every single aisle, I encountered someone speaking Polish (after the first few aisles I kept checking to make sure they were different people and not the same Pole following a similar shopping pattern). Is it possible that they all arrived there together by bus?

http://travel.state.gov/poland.html
“Roads are generally narrow, badly lit, frequently under repair (especially in the summer months), and are often also used by pedestrians and animals.”

The Polish drivers you were stuck behind were probably driving quite recklessly in terms of Polish road conditions while keeping an eye out (perhaps literally) for things you might not expect in Austria. Things like the road disappearing.

And, as the old German (and Austrian?) jokes go, maybe a few of the Mercedes that sped past you were driven by Poles on the way to a quick sale across the border.
