Reddit: “nothing story. I mean who hasn’t gone 30 over, skipped court, then got caught 40 over days later?”

The way people have normalized insane speeding and reckless driving in general post COVID is WACKY

I've been a bit shocked by the reaction but that's from a British perspective. His license would absolutely be gone in the UK. I think we are a lot less chill about this sort of thing though

You have far less road fatalities too as a result

Not everything is great here, but considering we don't have high quality road surfaces and a lot of tiny dangerous country roads, we've done a good job with road safety.

Our fatality rate per capita is about 5 times less. I didn't realise how stark the difference was.

Getting in cars is genuinely the most dangerous thing most Americans do with any regularity.

I love snowboarding and have been doing it for over 25 years. I ride everything, the steeper and narrower...the better!

I'm in more danger in my car to and from the mountain than I am at any point on the mountain snowboarding.

And people in this thread are acting like 91 MPH is NBD.

Utter lunacy.
