Answer 1

The highest speed limit here is 85. And you still have to pass people sometimes. Besides, if everyone’s car was set to 70 when they introduced it, that would have been a clusterfuck. Also, people can and do race on tracks. That, and car manufacturer s aren’t there to enforce the law, they’re there to sell you a cool car.
