So you like to drive fast, right? Unfortunately for you, The law states that speeding is illegaland even on a race track, you’ll be lucky to see speeds over 150 mph unless you’re in an insanely expensive car. The easiest way to get your speed boost would be to use some of the the fastest roller coasters in the worldbut what if even the fastest roller coaster in the world isn’t enough to satisfy that urge?

The obvious solution is to book a ride on one of the fastest trains in the world. Unfortunately for our US readers (that’s 95 percent of you), there are no high-speed trains in the US, because that would be communism. So to experience one of these trains, you’ll have to travel internationally a bit. Then again, who wouldn’t want to see France traveling at nearly 200 mph? And that’s not even the fastest train we found.

Click through to plan your next vacation or just get annoyed about all the trains missing in the USA.
