Invincibility would mean doing so during heavy traffic, tailgating,
weaving through cars making dangerous passes.  In a light traffic
situation, high speeds can be safely maintained for extended time
periods.  When approaching other traffic, you slow down and pass them
at a 10 to 15 mph speed differential at the very most.  To do
otherwise is to invite disaster.

Are you trying to say that exceeding the American speed limits in
safety is impossible?  Under any circumstances?
