The cars are safe at that speed. The untrained US drivers are not safe at any speed. If the drivers cannot even handle basic driving under our current speed regulations they will only be even less able to handle higher speeds. Last thing any of us need is someone cutting us off going 60mph when you are doing 120mph down the left lane.
Most of the speeding and cutting in and out seems to stem from a need to show off for whatever reason. This happens with all types of cars. In my area most of the FRS/BRZs I've seen on the road drive normal.
