Sound quality is nil. I couldn't hear what the guy was saying and shut the sound off. That made the video uninteresting since I have the same view of the i8 every time I drive it.

Passing on the right, unfortunately, has become the norm in California. Out here, there are a plethora of motorist who have no clue as to the existence of the fast lane or that slower traffic should move to the right.

As for speeding, I recall that the Pennsylvania Highway Patrol being excessively strict (My college buddy even got a speeding ticket for doing 59 mph in a 55 mph zone). I guess that's where a great detection unit comes in. In the meantime, stay stealthy!
