Do you want a different set of roads to drive on too? because if you plan on using your "Platinum" driver's license on regular roads with regular drivers, you will be more of hazzard as mere mortals drive at common speeds while you try to push the envelope with your superior driving skills as you make your way to the local Walmart at 90 MPH.

Speed limits are a lowest common denominator....designed to keep the masses safe. By trying to keep eveyrone under a certain speed, everyone's chances improve.
