That's insane, maybe it's all corrupt involving hotel staff and/or police, who knows? Anyway, I dislike any downtown of major cities, they are all messes or turning into messes w beggars, increased crime, etc, so I tend to stay away.

Towns the speed limit is right. Rural roads that have good unobscured visibility, low to no traffic and in the right conditions, 80mph. Most rural roads 65mph so 10mph over posted. Highways with no traffic and the right car 90-100mph would be doable, I honestly never do that though as I like my low insurance premiums. Most highways were designed for 70- 85mph but to keep emissions and fuel consumption lower the speed limits are what they are.

As for insurance, due to a rash of car thefts/carjackings, insurance premiums have started going up for people renewing their policies, so far I've seen dobule digit % increases for claimsfree drivers with spotless records. Last time my car was at the dealer and they couldn't provide a loaner, they took me to enterprise rentals and I was told I was lucky to be getting a car since they had several stolen the past week and the only reason I lucked out is that they got a brand new one arrive and hour prior to me showing up. |

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/canad...lf/ar-AA1er1rj I highlight (Can the Canada Border Services be so damn lame or are they on the take?): Taub said the provider of the tracking device, Tag, shared the car’s location with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), which subsequently set that container aside. However, Taub said the CBSA told him it could take as long as four months to open the container due to the agency’s staffing shortages, and that it could still be shipped despite being set aside. |

For me I enjoy that initial torque kick more than sustaining high rolling speeds. With the M-car experience it's amazing to get up to 80-90mph aggressively, cruise a bit, then step on the throttle again and get another mule kick up to 120-130mph. (And then slow back down to the speed limit because I'm an upstanding citizen)

I have a rule when I test drive cars. If it’s not stable and effortless at 110mph cruising then it’s a pass for me. Not that I drive this fast normally, but it’s just a sign for me on how the car behaves in such a situation.

If you drive 140km/h on the Autobahn you are part of the problem. I’d call you reckless sometimes. |

As many others have mentioned, it depends on every factor from the driver to the vehicle to the conditions. An alert and able-bodied driver going 100 mph on the highway in a capable car is safe compared to a bad driver going 35 in a 40 zone in a Prius or CR-V with poor handling and stopping power. I am far more nervous seeing a shit car + driver on the same road as I am than being passed on the left at any speed differential. Personally, I've only gone up to the 130 limiter in my 3er (empty highways in Mexico during peak Covid times). [Exactly the speed limit + flow of traffic allowance] is fast enough for me in an X5.

- the ask is for personal speed perception - the ask does not expect an answer to be a fixed value in distance/time unit - the "fast" does not imply "safe" My answer: "any speed that yield in completing a trip in the smaller time window than anticipated before start of the trip".
