As someone who lived in Jersey for many years, if you were only going a little over the speed limit you were granny driving. I had my BMW 335i at 105 mph coming home from the OBX with my Mom in the passenger seat and she said "why are people passing us Mark"?
Yup. Montreal is crazy that way as well. By far the worst 'urban speedup' I've seen but then I didn't give NJTP a chance, did I?
I've only driven over 100-mph once - over a 20-mile straightaway in Minnesota. I rearranged a prairie chicken into a cloud of feathers that day with my AMC Hornet station wagon.
