but what about the guy with the Ferrari who decides he's safe to go 220? He's no different than you, but chances are at some point he's gonna run into trouble.

Why do we get to say that he shouldn't go 220 though? If it interferes with no one, or he is a capable driver, even if the road is not designed for that. It's his own choice.
For reference sake, I have maxed out a speedometer (and gone significantly past it) at 240 km/h on highway 2. I felt scared, so I slowed down. Even though the car went that fast, it was not safe. It was safe to do about 150-160, IMO, which is what I did. I didn't cut anyone off, I didn't pass anyone on the shoulder, and I didn't interfere with anyone else's trip. Why should I not be able to do that?
I guess it comes down to what is posted in one of the above posts- some people don't have the brain power to correctly make these decisions. Some don't have the driving ability. Some don't have the know-how or common sense. So for that reason, the rest of us can't get those rights. I'm just frustrated by the lowest common denominator ruining my life (in general too), and by complaining about driving I can vent a little bit!
