I wouldn't worry. It seems canadians drive in MPH anyway ie they do something like 100 mph in a 100kmh from my experience driving there...

So just invert it (and see how many nasty looks you get for going 60 kmh/37mph in a 60mph zone)

Honestly don't worry about it - speed limits are almost always either 30 mph or 55/60/65/70 mph(depending on where you are in the US). Just remember that 30 is ~50kmh 60 is about 100kmh. And if you find one that's 45mph, well, its 75 kmh

Magic 8-ball was correct. All be in awe of Magic 8 ball.

Ha, ha, thought it might be a bit risky for a learner to do 130 mph.
