I switched cars with a family member today. I usually drive a sedan that’s lower to the ground, and today I’m driving my mom’s SUV. I’ve noticed that I am consistently going way over the speed limit in the SUV because it doesn’t feel like I’m driving as fast at this speed as it does when I’m driving my sedan. Why is that? I’m guessing something to do with optics in the eye?

You can feel the tyres in a sports car, you can feel the RPM of the engine much more easily.
I’ve driven low sports cars and you can feel every movement – makes it much easier to feel how fast you are going
