Last time I took my ’46 on the freeway & even though I was
driving the designated speed limit...
The traffic was traveling at faster speeds that I had the sensation I was traveling backwards!
I immediately turn off on the nearest exit.
I now take the access roads & back-roads which is really quite nice & I enjoy the scenery.
And there's no doubt that a collision at speed in a '46 pickup is an event you would much rather avoid.
I rode Interstate 5 on a '62 Vespa GS160 on many an occasion back in my bulletproof days. The Vespa could do the speed limit, but those little wheels didn't leave me feeling at all stable, and the passing cars and trucks threatened to carry me over in their wake.
Almost as bad as those old 36- and 40-hp VW buses I once had. That was like driving a kite.
