    I don’t know about there in the US, but in the Netherlands, we follow the speed limits. I hear crazy stuff about speeding in the US.

      Driving in the US is done on feeling alone. It doesn’t matter what the limit is, it matters what speed you think feels best. Everyone’s always doing that and if you’re only going the speed limit you’re probably obstructing the flow of traffic.

      It’s absolutely as bad as it sounds

        Here we modify the road so it feels unsafe to go over the limit. This can be the type of road, speedbumps, etc.

          We do that too, sometimes. Mostly we just make them wider and more hostile to pedestrians
