Hello from Vietnam.
So I guess New Zealand also like charging all over the place at speeds more likely to kill pedestrians?
TBH the only city I've been in where most of the traffic is at over 50mph is Singapore, and that wasn't a good thing.
Well yeah, but the reason I said it is that my city is on an isthmus and the easiest way to get from one side to the other is by highway.
ok, I'd say to try doing a typical journey including a bit of the highway, but cap your speed ... and see how much time difference it really makes.
Most people here are chilled about getting to work at 30-50kph, it's a mindset.
