I drive by feel. You have a lot of visual, auditory and mechanical cues as you drive faster. You also have other cars on the road so you know if you’re going faster or slower. If you drive everyday, you also notice other aspects of the car and when anything is slightly different the driving feels “off”. I would argue this intuition happens for any activity you do regularly after several years. Like accidentally putting your fingers on the wrong keys in the home row. It’s also different per car, so I rely on the speedometer more when renting. Older cars definitely feel faster than newer cars, and I think that is mostly due to weight and improved shock absorption. These things throw off your cues.
