Exactly. Here in Ontario on the 400 series highways the cruising speed of 
ALMOST ALL MOTORISTS IS 140KPH.Or approximately 80-85 mph.However the 
speed limit is posted on the 400 series at 100 klmsph. (62mph)Cops don`t 
seem to bother anybody at that speed (conditions allowing ) unless you 
are cutting in-out of traffic and doing other stupid things.Especially 
through Toronto.If they put too much pressure on here they have only 
induced massive traffic jams and MORE acccidents because of their 
presence. The only time you have to be a little more alert is the last 
weeek of the month when they have to make up their quotas and most 
drivers are cognizant of this and act accordingly but the cruising speed 
never drops below 120klms ph(75mph.)

	When I went to B.C. last year it was a real pleasure to drive 
through Montana. I set the cruise on my `86 accord to about 160- 170kph 
(100-110mph) and had no problems.The only place we slowed down was when 
we approached a city or town and the speed limits were posted .Of course 
if you saw another car every 5 miles ,that was a traffic jam ., so the 
conditions  were tops for high speed cruising.I was only passed twice on 
my sojourn through this beautiful state, once by a late model Mercedes 
and another time by a big old Buick out of the past.
