Poll: What speed do you regularly drive at?

[Ultima]

Just bored and wanting to see how fast fellow anandtechers like to drive at

EDIT: Me personally, I'd go between 65 and 80mph in the city depending on conditions. Up to 100mph at night or out of the city. Any more than that will have to wait till I go to Germany one day

 

[ohtwell]

75 mph.

[b0mbrman]

70 is pretty much the way to go...congestion really lowers that number though

 

[thawolfman]

Usually 75-85, but my exhaust is shot and I sound like a ricer now Gonna have to get that fixed ASAP

 

[minendo]

Between 80 and 90 when there is no traffic. If there is moderate traffic I do about 75.

city: no more than 15mph above speed limit
freeway: whatever the speed it takes so that no car passes me. usually 85 in san diego, 90 in orange county, 100 traveling between san diego and orange county

speeding tickets / moving violations = 0
pulled over at least 5 times

i'm a safe driver

 

[Priit]

70-80Km/h cause my machine doesn't go much faster (max. speed is 90Km/h but engine overheats pretty soon if I drive, gas pedal on the floor).

 

[N8Magic]

Generally 130-140km/hr on my way to work.

learn where the speed traps are. i slow down around camp pendleton area, and around curves where i cant see straight ahead

 

[SHoddyCOmp]

75 about on the freeway. I tend to try to catch up the the pack, but then they notice i am going faster, and pull over which gives me a new set of cars lol.... never gotten a ticket though yet. Lucky i guess :Q. I dont always do that, just prettymuch when im late for class and left 20 till and it takes me 30 minutes on a GOOD day.

 

[SHoddyCOmp]

....but which is often probably 60% of the time though

heh at least you have a reasonable excuse to speed due to tardiness. ive been trying to break my goal of getting between irvine and san diego in less than 50 minutes, which is exactly 100 miles apart from house to apartment.

 

[CrazyDe1]

consistently 15-20 above speed limits unless its a school zone...on highways I like to cruise at around 85-95

 

[notfred]

80-85

 

[Haircut]

Usually around 80.
Speed limit is 70 here and the police won't pull you unless you're going over about 85.

If it's quiet I will go a little faster though.

 

[yakko]

Depends on conditions.

 

[ThaGrandCow]

Look at whatever road I'm on. Add 15 to the speed limit. That's how fast I'm going, unless I'm in a hurry.

 

[tops2]

on the freeway, i try to go 80-90mph
unless theres traffic, then i slow down and leave a lot of room between me and the car in front of me...

 

[chickendinner]

The speed limit of course.

 

[MikeO]

<< What speed do you regularly drive at? >>



15kmh above limit, +25kmh or more on highways.

 

[Vadatajs]

90-95 stay the hell out of my way (I'm serious too).

 

[Understudy]

Geez, are you guys serious? I live in Australia and 100km/h (= 62 mph) is the maximum speed limit in my state. The law has just been changed so they can book you if you go 3km/h over the limit. And they probably will.

I rarely drive over 110.
