I spent 2 hours going the 80 miles between Austin and San Antonio, average 40mph. For comparison, in the UK I can go between London and York, which is 200 miles - also in 2 hours, average 100mph.
One of them has a good rail system.
And I'm not even talking about high speed rail.
Driving at 100mph?
The American mind cannot comprehend trains.
Not American:)
Trains.
Rail at 100mph - it's in the comment.
Has been a thing since before WW2 by the looks of it.
