The bigger the city, usually the faster traffic is...

Minneapolis: 70-75mph in the fast lane is normal
Chicago: 75-90mph in the fast lane

It really differs across the country, my hometown is near the Minnesota/Wisconsin border. You can literally cross the bridge at 75mph (10 over) and then be going the exact speed limit because Wisconsin drivers are idiots around my area. Once you get to know an area, you know when you can and can't speed. There is a town by the river where a few of my friends have been pulled over and ticketed for doing 32 in a 30, but there are some places where I know I can rip through a 30 at 50 and the cops don't care.

90-100 in the fast lane seems a little ridiculous though, maybe it was just that group of cars.

I would not speak too much, You guys drive like idiots ( People From Quebec ) Every time I drive through Quebec to get to Ontario I get passed and I mean passed by ladies in Mini Vans, People driving like idiots. Tail Gaters From Hell, **** last year some idiot did not like my HID and forced me off the road, Then you got idiots that just want to race. I always HATE driving in Quebec and its not just in Quebec. This weekend I had some idiot fly up to me in this little town 60 KPH zone, swerving back and forth trying to look past me and he ended up passing me and flying like a bad out of hell and guess what, Quebec plates. But everytime I usually see a car driving like an idiot the plates are from Quebec.

i live in cali. city needs money, states need money, if popo dont like you they will pull you over. even if its 5 mph over the speed limit. thats IF they really pick on you mainly because of how your car look. i bet a Bugatti wouldnt get pulled over for driving faster then everyone else. compared to a riced of vehicle.

yeah I was going to mention Chicago but Brandon already covered that. 90mph there isn't unusual at all. 160kmh is pretty crazy though
