I would say I'm a fairly safe driver, so i probably average 50-65 kmh in a 50k zone, 80-90 in an 80k zone but i think it jumps to 100 -180 in a 100km/h zone open road and USZ depends on surface /weather but I would push it quite hard, probably 120-200.

Under noraml conditions usually 5-15mph over the posted speed limit, and thats with having a radar detector. Open highway where I know its not patrolled by airplanes I will do 90-100 in a 65 zone

Typically speaking I drive about 10 mph over the posted limit regardless of what I drive, except thru residential areas of a city, where I usually drive a tad bit slower than posted just because I know there are always dogs or kids or old folk out and about, or people backing out of their drives, etc. I don't like being behind large vehicles that I can't see around....I like to know what is up ahead of me.

Our Interstate system allows 70 mph, most of the time I drive between 80 and 90 mph on these roads (as does nearly everyone else).

In very light Interstate traffic (and here in Kansas that is REALLY light...lol....like a car every couple of minutes) I'll jump the FD or the S80 up to 120 - 140 mph for a few miles, just for the thrill of it.

But overall I stay pretty much where 70% of the other drivers run, I basically just keep with the traffic flow. In my experience this is what the majority of people with powerful cars do. There is no need to be a jackass and be flying at triple digit speeds ALL the time. THAT is what you see 17 year old kids in riced out Hondas doing, simply because they *think* they are having to prove something.

I'm with Bajaman, I'll run 80-90 on interstates but run to 160-170mph if there are no other cars around.

With demerit points here in Australia, I usually drive ON the speed limit. More will get me into trouble (2 points left till they cancel my license). And with radar counted as illegal, Aussie sux.

On major highways in my area i usually cruise at about 75-85 mph depending on the traffic. In residential areas i usually do the posted speed limits due to children and other cars out and about. There are not many places to sustain 120 mph + for long distances around here without gettting caught.

I usually do 5-10 over the speed limit on two lane roads. I keep the speed limit through neighborhoods and through town and usually around 75 on the highway. I used to take it up to 85-95 on the highways when there was little traffic but i got a tickit for 98 in a 65, so i wont be doing that anymore.

Honestly, I stay around the speed limit (sometimes extra 5 mph or so) on highway . We don't have any interstates around here. But when it's back beach road or somewhere, I amp it up a notch...gotta' stretch out her legs! Driving a CYM makes it's easy for anyone to spot me out within a good distance (...cops). Haha.

same here i just do about 10 over with the radar detector but sometimes it goes off to late

In San Diego I do 90 on the freeway in heavy traffic and I'm getting passed. It's the wild west out here.

I just try to drive what is safe for the conditions. I never speed on a road with pedestrians and I have learned that any road with lots of driveways or cross traffic is a no no for high speed.

Take me out on some of my favorite deserted mountain roads and that's a different story... well... unless that deer slows me down.

about 80-90 on freeways if its free of traffic.

80-90 when its right 120+ if its really right

I drive right at 55. In my area I'm the only owner of an FD, so it's a MAJOR cop magnet. They are ****** around here, and I wouldn't put it past them to pull me over for 5MPH over the speed limit. I do get the occasional need for speed, but I wait until I'm on the indian reservation for that

I go +10, maybe +15 on the highway if everyone else is doing it. The only time I've ever been pulled over I'm told I got to +20 - I think the state troopers won't bother with +10's. I do not horse around, roll stop signs, run red lights, or make tight lane changes unnecessarily - that's asking to be targeted.

In 25mph and 35mph neighborhood streets, or streets with parked cars, speed limit max.

Every now and then I open up to 100 or 110 on a section of bridge where the cops can't set up

As fast as traffic will allow. 80s in traffic, 100MPH+ at night.

well since i do alot of city driving where its mostly 25mph limit, i drive 30, sometimes 35 but not likely and thats with the radar off..i leave it off so im forced to go slow..

but on main roads, even if they say 25mph, people dont do that, so i just follow the pace which is usually 40mph..

on the highway, its a 55mph limit, i do about 65-70..at night when no one is out, i do 100+ but thats very rare..

I use the cruise control all the time regardless of the car I'm driving and set it to 8 mph over the speed limit. I always use radar detector too. I only go faster to pass same speed or slightly slower vehicles up to 20 mph over limit but quickly come back to the cruise setting.

Very rarely on deserted highways on the FD I go a few miles one way at speed limit or slightly above scanning with the radar detector and once confident it's clear I turn to the other direction and try a high speed fun run to 120~140, only once got her up to 162.

I used to drive over 100mph all the time but I guess I'm getting older... I now look for open track events to fix my high speed adrenaline addiction safely and legally.
