You forget that in the States, they say “speed limit is X, so I go X+10”, sometimes even 20. It’s very common for comments to mention that the flow of traffic is literally 25% faster than the “limit” - it’s like culturally so many USians treat the limit as a lower limit. 🫣
Also how I’m using them on my motorbike under the helmet. Works a treat, can still hear my bike but a lot of the wind noise is goooone.
