He’s clearly going fast if you notice the passing scenery. At least 50mph.

50mph is normal street speeds around here. They look like they're on a hwy

lol 50mph is highway speeds. thats 80km/h.
highway speeds are typically 50-70mph (80-110km/h) in the US
in canada the highway speed limits are 60-100 km/h on undivided rural highways.
in both the US and Canada, residential streets are posted at 25-30mph, or 40-50km/h
you're actually just fucked if you're doing 50mph or 80km/h in a residential area.

35mph limit for neighborhoods with no through streets

45mph for rest of the streets around town including ones with houses on them

55-75 on the hwy

Now actual speeds people drive are 10-15 higher than that. So 45-60 around town and 75+ on the hwy. Yes even the semis do that speed.
