(I know it's off-topic)
My opinion: I like american cars and roads.
However I don't understand common speed limit 55 mph which is in my
opinion too low for the road on desert.
BTW:
Here in Poland default limit on highway is 140 km/h.
However in Germany default is ...your sanity. No speed limit. Most cars
have factory limit at 250 km/h, but not luxury ones. And yes, it is
legal to drive 300 km/h
Of course this is for highways only. And speed limit signs may reduce it.

Too many things....
That context was with regard to driving in Canada and should have been
100 KPM, not 100 knots. :-(
Last time I was in Canada, we still were stuck with mostly 55mph
limits in USA while Canada seemed to have a standard of 100kpm so I
equate the two.
My point was that I don't bother to convert. I just use the
measurement as presented.

Assuming you meant Kilometers/Hour (based upon the context), it's
actually 62.5 MPH.
Well, if the posted limit is 55 mph, 62.5 mph seems about the right
speed to go. 😉
But duck-duck-go tells me 100 knots is 115.078 mph, or 185.2001 km/h.
