Gotta love the formula though. Give people big cars with big engines, roads with wide lanes that could easily handle high speeds, and then set a speed limit that is about 15-30mph too slow to be a "maximum" speed (depending on the road).
That way, everyone drives faster than the speed limit by default. And then the police have the option of pulling over whoever they want.
Seriously, if you drive 55 on the interstate around Atlanta, you will die. In practice, it's 70 minimum, but 80 is standard.
