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. |
I could not agree with you more. It is not the speed that creates the problem most of the time. It is the people swerving in and out of the lanes cutting people off.
