Age or speed?

P.S. It seems that way in VA and PA as well nowadays! I am anti-speed-limit 
campaigner in the UK, but I have to say that, although I like driving at 
85-110 mph in Europe, it terrifies me in the USA! I think it is partly (with 
respect) because the driving standards are (even) lower, and partly because 
many people are driving around in top-heavy, ill-handling trucks or 
evil-handling sogmobiles with no shocks, and I just *KNOW* they can't react 
quickly in an emergency situation! Doing 110 mph in Italy, where the speed 
limit is now 95 and you are O.K. with the police at up to 120ish, and I am 
surrounded by Alfas and Audis, is somehow less scary than being passed in 
the Vair on I-81 by Kenworths and old ladies in '93 Buick Park Avenues, at 
85 mph on auto-pilot (I mean the old ladies are on auto-pilot, not the Park 
Avenues)...
