"Rest of world" Lol. India, Brazil, parts of Italy... the rule is do whatever you want, try not to crash, bigger vehicle has the right of way.

Brazil is far from lawless. In really small communities 12-year-Olds are driving scooters without wearing helmets, sure, but in all Metropolitan areas laws are pretty strict and there are expensive fines.

Meanwhile in the U.S. with ✌️ speed limits ✌️ everyone goes 10 over and the exceptions are 20-30mph over.

Yup, 10 over is my default unless I’m on a highway, which is then 15 to 20 over.

It’s funny, but those who actually go the speed limit are the ones that people get mad at for going too slow. Even though they’re technically the only ones obeying the law.

And the most dangerous are the extremes on both ends encountering each other. It's crazy to me how normalized vehicles are considering the death that they cause, the behavior people exhibit on the roads, and the sheer absolute ignorance that seems to be paid to making them safer. Maybe it's just apathy?

If we get high enough the sound barrier will be at highway speeds.

Anything above the speed limit is illegal.
