    I recently had to cross the border and so I was driving 58-60MPH and drivers are staring me down and flying past me like i'm in a Schneider truck

    100=62, so i'm driving 60

    am I the problem or is everyone else just driving too fast?

    the speed limit is 100, so thats what i'm doing

    Don t worry about how fast other trucks are going. Drive where you feel comfortable. And the last thing you need is to get in trouble while in Canada. Canadian DOT is far worse than US DOT

    everyone drives 55 in California, except for a few idiots (going downhill doesn't count as idiocy)

    100 k/m is 62.5 m/h
    90 km is 56.25 m/h
    70 km is 43.75 m/h
    50 km is 31.25 m/h
    30 km is 18.75 m/h

    what ever is the distance exemple 150 km divide by 1.6 = 93.75 miles

    Your fine. Just keep on doing it legal and it will pay off down the road. I see guys like you and think there a good driver. I've had a clean record for over 20 yrs and make over 30/hr. It pays to play it smart.
