Not sure why everyone expects Iceland to be some paradise. Drivers are cunts worldwide.
I think it’s because if you are caught speeding or being a dick - as a tourist anyhow - they are pretty strict and the punishments are spendy.

So, why all the bother about it being busy and dangerous? I've only been to the capital in December so maybe my view is skewed towards the off-season or something but it seems less busy with cars than most English market towns. I didn't ride there though and don't remember traffic details outside the capital when we headed out on some bus trips.

Can confirm speeding tickets are costly. Car rental co apprised me that Iceland police had clocked offence (cost of letter €35). Was worried that I had been spotted maxing it out at 160 km/h on several stretches where we had to make back time. Fortunately was somewhere else where I was only ~10% over 90 km/h limit. Still the fine was something like €150.
Seriously, don't be riding the bike on the Ring. You are not going to enjoy it.

Go to the USA and you'll find that speeding truck passing shenanigans happening every 10min.
I presume they don't have data loggers or speed limiters in US trucks?
