    American roads are massive and built so you can safely drive way higher than the limit, which means most people do. It sucks and the solution is to design roads better.

    Currently we just have a system where going the speed limit causes backups and people make dangerous maneuvers to get around you.

    Hell, I even got pulled over for ‘impeding the flow of traffic’ once when I was going slightly over the speed limit. Pig just gave me a warning, and I certainly would’ve succeeded in contesting it if he hadn’t, but our whole road infrastructure sucks
