Look the the Autobahn in Germany, they do not have more accidents than on the LIE.
...what happens when, while observing the speed limit, you want to pass a car for whatever reason, you signal and enter the left lane, you know... the passing lane...and in the middle of doing it some dipwad screaming out of nowhere is on your @$$ flashing his lights, fully expecting you to get out of his way? Sorry spitball, I don't get back to the right until...until I see the passed-vehicle's front end completely in my rear-view mirror...it's called proper passing procedure, a space cushion...and I certainly don't speed up above the posted limit to comply either...and then the p!$$pot flips me the bird! I guess that's why I've had only two accidents in my forty years of driving and one of them involved rolling my CJ-7 while off-road...

Familiar with the LIE, maybe the Northern State...Travel east just before the Meadowbrook, watch the freakshow particularly in the twisty area where the signs say "Stay In Lane"...or when they cut from the extreme left, over four lanes of traffic to hit said Meadowbrook...

*Faster? Faster than what...the so-called "slower drivers" doing the 55mph (or otherwise posted) limit?
