When my wife starts screaming at me that I’m going way too fast, I know I am speeding!
Occasionally, I do listen to her and slow down. |

Assuming a road is very good, straight, long and stable... I think up to 120 MPH in a solid vehicle with a solid suspension feels relatively normal to me. Going above that is where you start to feel a difference... 120 to 150 is a major difference in feel. I've done 150 on a closed airport runway and it felt a bit sketchy even in a solid car.

No idea about car thefts but I assume it's rampant in every major city (what vehicles were being stolen?); Dorval is supposed to be a really safe area. What I appreciate about Montreal is that even though there is a supposed mafia presence, there doesn't seem to be many gun-related killings vs other cities, so it's relatively safe.

Ah the question of speed, sure we have M cars and want to drive fast in them because they do it so well. I live in Quebec, I'm a very careful fast driver if that makes sense.....I don't drive fast around other cars, too dangerous, someone can pull into the left lane and they don't see you coming that fast if your going over 200kmh, 200kmh in my x3m is a joke, super capable and you don't feel it at all, I start to feel like I'm going fast in this car at 240kmh, wind noise picks up a bit being taller than a low slung sports car, I have my straightaways where I know I can go fast......and honestly if I cop gets me at 200kmh plus, I would not stop. I a cop is at 0kmh and I'm going 200 plus, he or she will never catch me, ill go faster if I see the lights on 1km back....ok going off topic a bit, but never happened, hope it never does, but I won't stop, that why I'm careful when speeding, I use Waze as a guide if I want to go fast where there is no cars between a few hundred meters and slow down to speed limit as I approach cars ahead of me. I noticed lots of people are simply afraid to go fast, was (racing) a gls 63s the other day and I'm sure this car is almost as fast, but the driver did not want to go over 210kmh, I zoomed past,,,,another story.
driving fast or slow is a risk, have calculate the risk, and take as little chances as possible. like weavers in and out of cars, (not me at all,) just dumb and reckless driving, I'm fast at times but never reckless, ill only endanger my own life alone on the road and not others.....you get the point. stay safe. and drive fast accordingly. |

In the streets ? 20 mph delta from close-by traffic or 10 mph above speed limit in a busy neighbourhood is asking for trouble. Your own skills have little to do with.

I agree. I never go more than 10 mph over the speed limit on freeways. I leave the hard driving for the track.

Tires have a speed "limit" of their own and winter tires' is (much) lower than the car's "regular" ones'. See the designation on the tire's sidewall. I recall a recommendation to attach a speed limit reminder note somewhere around the dashboard when using winter tires.

Yes, I know I was way over the tire speed limit but I was not sustaining that speed. The rating is for sustained speed. I don’t really like the handling of snows but sometimes they are necessary.

Hit 120 on I-75
I got to 120 on I-75 in Kentucky, and it felt like I was going for a leisurely drive.
I once got a Dodge Neon to 115-120, and that was an experience. I felt like the car was going to rip into pieces at any moment. |
