When you can how fast are you willing to drive generally?



I drive about 85 mph when there isn't any traffic, I'm alone and no cops in plain view, but most of the time under 65 mph due to LA traffic.

about 260
but i'm a german fellow

the posted speed limit no more, maybe a little less depending on conditions.

I do around 80 mph alot, especially to and from work. On occasion, I'll get into the 90's. I've only done over 100 a handful of times driving, I think when I first got it i took it to 130mph and one more to 110mph. But when I had my bike, I did 140mph all the time. =T I'm glad I sold my bike back then. I might not be here today if I still had it.

Back at home (las vegas) it is very difficult to drive at the posted 75 limit because the average is 80 mph.

 

[krmathis]

Maximum 120-130km/h (in Norway that is).
Sadly I can't say that I have always been so light on the trottle.

190 kmh in my parent's car and 160 kmh with my own (older Opel Astra). The fastest I drove was 250 kmh (the car's eletronic restriction) but that didn't feel too comfortable.

I am always at least 80mph and will drive an even 100mph if terms are right on long drives. Here and there I go 120+ but its not for long distance.

No more than 75 mph. Wasting gas big time after that.

General freeway speed is 120km/h, though on long stretches out in the boonies I'll cruise at 140/150 and on occasion I've been known to get things up to 190 (zero traffic, daytime only).

On highways and especially streets, I try to stick as close to the posted speed limit as possible, 10km/h over tops. Too many people, pets and animals to worry about.

I guess you could say I'm a "responsible speeder". No erratic driving, no stupid BS moves, considerate in heavy traffic, etc.

I just go with the flow of traffic which is generally 20-25 miles over the speed limit. Speed limits do very little to promote safety. They are more so just a way for a town/state to make money.

 

[Mrvile]

Driving around in PA is usually around 85+, but at home in Ohio people generally only do up to 75.

 

[HiWire]

Yes, the highway speed around Toronto can be about 140-150 km/h in quieter stretches. That's 40-50 km/h (25-30 mph) over the 100 km/h (62 mph) speed limit. I generally feel safe passing/fast cruising at about 120-130 km/h. I don't like to cruise much over 120 km/h due to wind noise and reduced mileage.

I used to drive as fast as possible on the highways in my younger days, but now I don't want to be hassled with worrying about speeding tickets and the costs that go with them so now I'm at 10k over the posted limit.

That's generally true while I drive to and from work, but those rare occasions that I drive upstate from New York City to somewhere like Binghamton or Buffalo, the distance takes a toll on me and I speed. =T My last drive to Buffalo I averaged around 100mph? Something like that.
