IDK. The only place in America I have ever driven is Canada and the US.

Canadians are so fucking stupid.
Because 60-70 mph (and rarely 80) is about as high as American speed limits go. People don't get the chance to become accustomed to anything faster.

Nice try burger, but it's clearly labeled km/h here.
That being said, 100 km/h is way too fucking low for the 400 series highways here.

No I remember quite clearly thank you.

Friendly reminder that the gigameter (~3.3 seconds) and terameter (~56 minutes) are the only reasonable base units of time.

Come to Texas. Get run over for not going back 100+ on our highways.
Cops are dicks about speed enforcement.
>long, mile and a half road from my road to the major route; 1 stoplight
>speed limit is a ridiculous 30mph when roads with more residences that are less straight are 40 or 55 in the same town
>driving nowhere near it, cop going other way turns around
>pulls me over
>says I was doing 53 in a 30
>ticket would be $300, fee on drivers license renewal over 3 years would be at least $100, insurance impact over next five years would likely exceed $600
>hire a lawyer for ~$500, likely impact (upcoming) will be that I pay $100 for a failure to yield ticket (so the lawyer tells me) since my record is clean
Even though the speed limit is ridiculously low I now won't go more than 33mph on that road. Other drivers tailgate me like crazy but I'm not getting another fucking ticket. I can't afford it.

Aren't they going the speed limit or so? If they're in the outer lane they're obeying traffic laws, just move over.
