I was shocked by how low the speed limits were in the USA and Canada. They're noticably higher in Western Europe.

  Most freeways and highways are 65mph/105kmh, some interstates are 75mph/120kph. People tend to drive approx 10 over posted limit on highways/freeways/interstates when traffic allows unless there is speedtrap.

    Wow, given how poorly people drive down here in FL I'm glad the speed limits are also significantly lower. Most highways are 40-50mph and the interstate is 50-70mph. People tend to drive around the speed limit or about 5-10mph over. Only exception (that I regularly see) is one part of I-4 people always seem to go 70mph when the posted limit is 50mph...

      Last time I drove down to Miami on the 95 people were flying on that freeway going 90+ mph. I didn't see a single cop until I actually got to Miami and saw a few cops hauling screeching people out of the bars and throwing them into the street later that night.

    You can see stretches of 80mph in some of the western states, and Texas has a few 85mph spots too.
