This is the third time I'm commenting on the same issue in this thread. Speed? What's the limit? What are you actually driving, if you're ignoring the limit?

Because Sweden allows 110-120km/h and other places in Europe might even allow more (France w/ 130km/h, and .. I'm from Germany).
You are NOT going fast in the US. You might drive a lot. You might commute more than anyone else. I don't know about these things. But fast? I don't buy it.
- lttlrck 12y agoAround Boston for my 15 mile commute on the Interstate the fast lane is nominally at 110-120km/h. No it's not as fast as the autobahn but it's on a par with Europe and far from slow. (I'm British, lived in Germany for 10 years, US for 5 years)
- emp_zealoth 12y agoI'm sorry, 110-120 in the fast lane isn't "on par with Europe". If you look at Germany, 270 is more like it... If you look at Austria/Italy, the fast lane rarely ever goes as low as the speed limit and going as fast as 145 kph usually meant we had to go out of the lane to let others through. Whoever is driving 110kph on an European highway is more or less a deadly road hazard. At such low speed it is nearly impossible to overtake lorries without having somebody nearly ram you from the back and it is guaranteed to cause a massive pileup of angry cars behind.
