All the cars were driving at a high speed and drivers sometimes didn't stop for the traffic lights.
→Is this sentence correct? Is the phrase "at a high speed" used correctly? I think it should be "at high speed" (without a). However, the interesting thing is that Ngram and Google gave me different answers on this.
Please take a look at them:
