Driving it for hundreds of miles in the Autobahn doesn't help. I really have to be careful with tickets. The section is also one of those 55mph zones that EVERY ONE goes 75mph and sometimes more. So cops can pretty much pull over anyone they want at any time for any reason. People do 70mph+ with impunity past speed traps. I'm afraid of one day "accidentally" doing 90 trying to get around someone doing 65 and getting a massive ticket. I know. That's dumb and I should just control my speed better.

You can set a chime to go off when you reach a certain top speed. Annoying, but maybe a good idea. I set mine at 80. Our highways are mostly 55, but even 80 is too slow to be safe in some instances. It is the wild west down here. Fun and terrifying at the same time.
