We have hundreds and hundreds of miles of 70 mph roads here in NC. I drive one everyday. Some people won't even go 70, but they also sit in the left lane. The left/passing lane thing is a whole different topic down here.

It's not nearly as scary as some might think. I'm quite comfy going 70-80 and I still get my doors blown off by others. It's not the speed in the straight line that's the real issue. It's the abrupt changing of lanes, tail gating, slow pokes in the passing lanes, cell phone use, etc. A good defensive driver can drive very safe at those speeds.
