Imagine how fast he could go when he’s sober. I wonder what he was driving that could go that fast. My Corolla coud never do that.

this can never happen in NYC. Any two lane street has become a single lane with a bike lane. I travel from Boro Park to Queens daily. since the lane reduction on the BQE my morning drive has gone up from an average of 45 minutes to about an hour and 10 minutes. The same for the way home. They can really remove some of the speed cameras. In some places you are basically driving single file at 5-10 miles an hour
