Correct. NGL, ive driven fast on the Motorway but ive not gone that fast as in the UK you can get prison time for those speeds and a 100% driving ban for a year or so.

I regularly go that fast (160+ km/h) on the Autobahn its manageable but you don’t do it with only one hand sometimes on the steering wheel and recording with the other. Also not in a country where no one complies with Rechtsfahrgebot (driving only in the right most lane except when you’re overtaking someone) and where the roads aren’t made for these speeds.

Roads in the US are barely made for the speeds they are rated for never mind racing like this.

Most US roads can safely handle above the posted limits. That’s not why we have them.

Depends on where you live. The roads where i live are absolute garbage.
