What seemed weird when I visited your country
Method of Madness:
Pretty much. "I WISH I WAS ALLOWED TO DRIVE FASTER BUT THE BLOODY LAW FORBIDS IT" (while driving at exactly the speed limit)
Ben:
It's called "living in the real world", I believe. Something to do with keeping your driving licence and not ending up in court more often than absolutely necessary.
Method of Madness:
What's funny is the speed limit is the law here, but pretty much everyone goes under the assumption that the speed limit really means "don't go more than 5-10 mph above this.

I always go 5-10 km/h (metric system, mind you, so it's not quite as much over the limit as mph) faster. It's about going just far enough so you won't get a speeding ticket. Which doesn't always work. I hate speeding tickets.
Method of Madness:
The last speeding ticket I got I deserved, but the ticket I got before that for running a stop sign (five years ago) was absolute bullshit. I stopped, looked, and went, and got pulled over after parking a block later with the cop claiming I just rolled right through. Ugh.
