I watched the video and it's not graphic, at least not as measured by what I see in mainstream culture. I'm curious to know what the speed limit is on that road but my guess would be nowhere near 97MPH. I think it's good to understand that drivers have to make a mental calculation of time based on their estimation of your speed and distance. Some are horrible at making that calculation in general. If you increase your speed to an atypically high speed, then their calculation of time is way off and this is the result.
Everything I could find said the limit was 60 MPH.
