yup - I guess it's welcome to the US of A. I almost feel it's pointless to go any faster than the speed limit in the US (roughly 115-120km/h). But I'm forced to go faster because of people tail-gating even in the slow lane.
I was told that in California - it's gotten worse because there aren't enough resources to hire police officers. This morning on the Highway 880, I saw a STI just chomping it away on the HOV lane - must have been at least 160km/h, and the funny thing is, there was an Escalade behind it and S500 behind the Escalade all within 3 car lengths of each other going the same speed.....yup it's crazy.
