Agreed. I'm Virginia 80+ (even 80 in a 70) is reckless driving, so I like to not stray too far... Which I must say is very easy to do in our cars.

In Ontario Canada, "Stunt Driving" with automatic 7 day car suspension and a huge fine, is whenever you are clocked at 50km/h(31mph) over the 100km/h (62mph) limit. As a result, I have mine set at 145km/h (90mph).

I hate the warnings and messages this car gives me - that chime gives me nightmares! I have never set the speed alarm.

I think with this:

------------------GRUPPE : {"Geschwindigkeitswarnung"}
AUFTRAGSAUSDRUCK :!GOLF
FSW_PSW : 0B4C 0008 // WARNUNG_GESCHW_LIMIT , nicht_aktiv
AUFTRAGSAUSDRUCK : GOLF
FSW_PSW : 0B4C 0101 // WARNUNG_GESCHW_LIMIT , 120_km/h

same here. My car, a CPO, was set at 95 or 100. Scared the bajesus out of me went it went off the first time because it went of exactly when I notice a cop in the opposite lane after cresting a small hill. I shut it off and have not had it on since.

I haven't touched my chime alarm...I've hit 170mph (while the car was still stock) and I didn't even get the LIMIT icon on my dash.
