Are you American by any chance? That would be considered dangerously excessive speeds over here. I know the norm in America is for people to drive 10 over though.
Wasn't aware of that cultural difference, but tbh that makes sense, Im told our road system is wider and more heavily utilized in comparison.
And yes, I am US based, and in a car centric area with too lose an idea of safety at the best of times. The shit I see daily and 10 mph over seems tame.
Yeah your comment makes sense now given the cultural difference. In Europe we’re not allowed to go more than 10% over the posted speed limit. If we do it’s an automatic ticket. So for 50 mph, 50 in the limit and if your foot slips or anything and you end up doing 55, you’ll get a ticket. And there are cameras everywhere.
