Why is it safer to travel 200mph on the autobahn than it is to drive 70 mph here in the states? 1 of the main reasons is that slower traffic has to move over to the right lanes or get a ticket or have their license revoked. Same laws should apply here which they are but only on 3 lane hwys like i75 and i95. This should be applied to any 2 lane road here in the villages too.
If you don’t slow down at turns and curves, you run the risk of hitting a pedestrian or other vehicle. The speed limit is the fastest you should be going, not how fast you are required to go. It sounds like you are one of the drivers who don’t share the multimodal path responsibly.
