You guys have a lot of Max 100 zones?

Because in km/h, we got lots of those

Also you calculate acceleration using 0-100 mph?

I think the highest speed limit I have seen in America is 85mph, which is around 135km/h. Typical highway speed limits though are 65mph, but everyone goes 5-10 over (105-120km/h).

The nice thing about mph is the whole mile a minute at 60mph. Makes it easy to mentally estimate time of arrival.

I mean… 100km/h is 100 km in one hour, it’s still useful to estimate a far arrival.

And 120 kph is 2 km per minute.

but everyone goes 5-10 over

Do police not arrest people for this?

Highest I have driven on is 130km/h, but it has no speed enforcement.

I think the more common measurement is 0-60 mph, so maybe thats closer to 1-100 in kilometers per hour.
