The biggest problem in the NY area is the lack of places to legally do high speeds. When I was younger there was a ton of places to turn the car out. Now there are only a few, and they are crowded, not maintained great and not cheap.
They should open tracks and sell a day of insurance to cover your car, since your regular insurance will not cover an accident on a track. And maybe even offer high speed, and defensive driving lessons. It would create better drivers that are not afraid of their cars, but experienced above what it takes to drive on a public road.
And we need a lane with barriers on either side that is a "HIGH SPEED LANE" on every highway, with a pull over area with ample clearance.
This could be a lane with a minimum speed of 70 and a max of 90, to hell with HOV lanes. THis would keep the highway moving. Anyone caught going less than 70 gets convicted of low speed driving. Ahhhhhhhh, how my dreams keep me smiling!
