There is effectively no speed limit in many rural areas in the US as it's unmonitored that far from cities. It's not uncommon to get passed by a pickup, with a grill literally 6 feet in the air, going either 130 km/h or slowing to a near stop right before it passes you and then going as fast as it can and "rolling coal" [1].

omg, that's disturbing. I would have assumed most people pull over and help a turtle finish crossing the road. I can't believe people, especially this many people, purposefully do this.
