Idk, I find local roads easier. Too easy to think about how hot Remilia or Misaka is and stray out of the lane.
Local, at least I'm more attentive, naturally, cuz of other shit. It's like the highway lulls (not lulz) me into a false sense of "I've got this!"
Also when j say light-foot, I mean I'm usually just at, or barely over the speed limit and when j accel... Takes a few seconds. It's probably me bing cautious, though. I don't have a good feel for the gas yet so I'd rather not pile-drive into a brick wall or back bumper.
