    What highways are there with a 100mph+ speed limit? I’d love to visit.
    I thought the highest in the US was 80mph, which means at least 30mph over. I thought you could start getting your vehicle impounded and get reckless driving charges at that point. It’s a little more than common speeding

      I have seen an 85 mph speed limit on a 2-lane highway in Oklahoma. It was cool because I was in a fast car and I could go as fast as I wanted to (about 90).

      Doing the speed limit while cruising in the middle lane is the proper way to travel in the United States, or just going with the flow of traffic. Being predictable is safe.

      If the road you’re on has a 80 MPH speed limit however, and people are doing 90-100 in the left lane (+10-20) it is exceedingly difficult to pass someone without temporarily going high speeds yourself.
