Worldwide, not all highways, roads, streets and other public byways have speed limits or enforcement of speed ordinances. If you could,

what’s the fastest speed you might like to drive on a daily basis on your regular routine?

*Caveat: this is not about racing, sport, competition, test-driving, high-speed pursuit, etc.

    Nice picture :).
    It depends on so much more than just speed.  
    If it was a nice day, I would like to drive about 10 miles an hour.  I love to drive with the top down on beautiful days.
    If it is raining, I would like to drive without anyone else on the road at about 34 mph.
    If I am late, I would like to drive with no one else on the road and no traffic lights at about 85 mph.  On my drive, that is a reasonable speed that still gets you there on time and not losing control. This post was edited by Merlin at May 30, 2019 5:05 AM MDT

    I drove 120 mph with a bf in a Corvette once.  It was exhilarating, scary and foolish all at the same time, but tons of fun.  120 mph it is!

    on the Autobahn
    if I had the car that would do the speed
    140 mph would be cool for me.
    I did 140 MPH once in an Avanti,
    and it felt good...hahaha

    I like to drive about 10  or 15 mph slower than the other cars on the road. It's what old people do.

    For so many years I was always in a hurry and drove like a maniac.  I thank God daily that we survived those years.  Now I generally go four or five miles over.....that's where I'm comfortable. In residential areas I drive slowly.  I have had more that one experience of a kid on a bike dart in front of me.   I'm hardly ever in a hurry anymore.  I love that.

    Something about driving cross country that causes you to push it.  When I was young. Now I don't do that any longer and approaching old age I have slowed way down. Long ago lost the false confidence of youth.
