He's kidding.

The question is, what is "too fast"? To me, as a driver who has taken professional drivers training and knows how to drive a car under almost any circumstances, driving "too fast" is driving faster than the flow of traffic on a roadway allows. Meaning if you are constantly moving in and out of traffic trying to get around people, you're driving too fast. On the roads here this speed has almost no correlation to the speed limit, for instance the flow of traffic on I-95 gets to 80MPH in some places, where if you were driving the speed limit of 65 you would be driving dangerously slow.

It's too fast when other people think it's too fast. Excess always finds an excuse:

"You drink/eat too much?" "Yes, but I can take it..."

"You spend too much?" "Yes, but we need to..."

"You work too hard?" "I have to..."

and so on...there are plenty more.
