if youre going to tell someone how to drive, then we should all nerf driving together and drive the same cars at the same exact speed.

So you don't believe in requiring driver's licenses, I guess, or in having any traffic rules at all. Or is it just the traffic rules that YOU disagree with that constitute "telling someone how to drive", and the rules that make it easier for you to drive the way you want to (the ones about people getting out of your way so you can speed, say) are okay?
Because you can't have it both ways.
Oh, and I've owned a sports car, and driven it really fast on a public road, way out in the boonies on a flat straight road where you could see another car coming about five miles down the road and when there was NO traffic at all. Not when there was other traffic that might need to get out of my way so I could get my jollies or that might be endangered by my behavior. And that was when I was a teenager and not expected to know better, really; I grew up and got over that.
As for all driving at the same speed, that's pretty much what speed limits are about, and among other things its to avoid the speed variance that folks that don't want folks driving BELOW the speed limit are always going on about as the REAL cause of traffic accidents, not realizing or acknowledging (go figure) that if
they just drove the speed limit and everyone else did there would be no problem at all in that regard.
