Well, both.
If the road were clear around me, I could easily hold 100+ off the highway. I've got huge streets near me with long curves. No problem for my relatively new tires and well-maintained vehicle.
Once we add cars to the mix, I can no longer go that fast. Too many other cars, if I just weave around them, I can go fast again. Who wants all this power sitting behind a Sentra?
Yay! I'm free! Fast fast fast until more cars again. A little bob and weave... Crash.
This road is literally as wide as the highway but the speed limit is 45mph.
The road always has traffic, always construction, always debris from poorly maintained cars or accidents which means you can't go fast but the road itself was designed for the Daytona 500. The 'speed limit' is set for a pace that makes 18 wheelers look fast.
So, the obvious answer said by every Suburban with scrapes on the side and Altima with paper tags is "My car isn't going to fail or crash and in ideal conditions should have no problem redlining all the way down this thing so I should try that in five o'clock traffic."
