haha hadn't thought about that, although the Roman Roads could be considered to be a safe highways as opposed to the dangerous paths in Germania.

If one of the main characters in The Fast and the Furious gets hurt in a street race, would not his teammates race to him as fast as they could?

It does seem a bit ironic (is that the right word?), but it's not like there were many other options for travel at that time.

People never change.
