Your post kind of sounds like the Seattle area freeways. Speed limit is 60 MPH but many of the kids(hate to use that term but the way they ride shows that they are) on the rice rockets fly down the freeway, through rush hour traffic at better than 90 MPH, weaving between slower moving cars. Is it smart? well, that is where personal minimums come to play. How much room do they need to cut between cars? See the resemblance?
