      Every car I’ve owned has had a way to change the speedometer from freedom units to ✨ metric ✨ .

      For knowing what speed I should be going, I roughly follow these numbers. (Note, these are not equivalent.)

      • 35mph -> 50km/h
      • 60mph -> 100km/h
      • 70mph ->110km/h

      Also, very roughly 10km ≈ 5mi.

      However, most of the time I just follow the flow of traffic.

      I voluntarily switched to metric like 10 years ago, so meters, celsius, grams, etc make more sense to me now.

        You missed the joke.

        I was making a joke as if kph and mph were physically distinct things and only one of them worked in each country.
