Default Re: Rough Speeds.

For a modern example, as a firefighter I recently drove our rescue unit in full emergency response mode on a paved road through our city during a period of very light traffic. Top speed never exceeded 40 km/h due to pavement heaving due to spring frost conditions. Vehicle speed is based entirely on conditions at the time and has nothing to do with published specs of any sort from any source. On that same day I am quite sure my off-road speed would have been much faster and the ride would have been infinitely more comfortable!
