I’m guessing you’re assuming I too was going 100+? Negative, not in my truck. I’m not exactly sure how he kept getting behind me as I didn’t really pay attention to him until he flew by me at over 120.I saw what you did there.

The Autobahn is quite tame, about 75mph is the norm in the unlimited zones (about 1/3 of it).
I spoke with a sheriff today, he prtty much said they arent hauling anyone to jail unless that absolutely have to.
Courts are shut down, they cant give a speedy trial
I've had the privilege of driving on both limited and unlimited sections.
My comment was a bit tongue in cheek because when I said I wished they did drive like it was the Autobahn, I meant the orderliness (is that a word?) of it, not the speeds.
I would compare it to ball room dancing versus our mosh pits.

They’ve got a steel beam in front of the actual bridge. Plus they lowered the roadway a bit.
NCHP was running radar on US-1 this morning just south of Apex.
California certainly has no problems with issuing speeding tickets!
No tears shed from me over how California citizens suffer, though:

CHP pulls over 460 speeding SoCal drivers over 3 hours on nearly empty 5 Freeway
A speeding enforcement operation spanning the 5 Freeway from Kern County to the Mexico border nabbed hundreds of offenders Wednesday, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Officers from 10 Southern California stations patrolled the freeway from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., searching for motorists taking advantage of light traffic during statewide coronavirus restrictions, the CHP’s Santa Ana office said in a Facebook post.
A total of 356 speeding citations were handed out, as well as 94 verbal and written warnings, officials said.
Fourteen of the offenders were traveling in excess of 100 mph, while the fastest was clocked at 119 mph in the Oceanside division, CHP said.
“As California motorists continue to see near-empty freeways, many find it easy to exceed the speed limit,” the Santa Ana office wrote. “However, speeding greatly increases the risk of causing a crash that results in serious injury or death.”
Other areas involved in Wednesday’s operation include Los Angeles, East L.A., Newhall, Altadena, Santa Fe Springs, Westminster, Capistrano, San Diego, the Southern Division and Border Division.
CHP did not say whether it was planning similar operations in the future.
