That is one thing that has always shocked me while visiting the US is the number of people driving attentively at or below the speed limit. Here the only people I see driving below the speed limit are people who are screwing around with their phones, or white knuckle drivers that are almost in tears they are so scared of being behind the wheel.

I drove my work truck all over the US and it was governed to 65mph and I'd be passing cars and trucks on roads with a speed limit of 65 or 70! It blew my mind! When I'm home I'll be doing 105-110kph in the right lane and be passed like I'm standing still. I've even had people tailgate me and flash their high beams at me when I'm in the right lane of a multilane highway!
