Even 90 is an obscene speed on a surface street.

Yeah, but 90 is duable. 134 really isn’t.

thing is, at that kind of speed, city blocks are going by like a picket fence. One of the fascinating things about going 142 was how fast my odometer was turning over tenths of a mile.

134 is 44 MPH faster than 90. It is a level of magnitude more dangerous than 90.

But, as you pointed out, both are pretty fast on surface streets. one of the biggest challenges, ignoring other drivers and pedestrians, is that the surface may not be that smooth, especially at intersections. Intersections could become launching pads to go airborne.
