Altho I was a little nervous BEFORE we started, : now I'm a believer in good driving habits. Those crazy people do drive : waaaay too fast, BUT they never pass on the right, they don't weave between : lanes, etc. Unfortunately they do tend to tailgate pretty heavily, so : so much for total safety. People drive fast in rural areas of the Western U.S., and they do it pretty safely. 75-80 is not unusual, and the traffic densities are much lower than they are almost anywhere in the world, except maybe Australia.
