I live on the border of 3 countries, and every small country in Europe has different speed limits. For convenience and above all FE I often use the lowest of the 3 on the highway, being 100 km/h. In Germany it's important to be flexible and adapt the speed to the lane, being somewhere between 90 - 110 km/h right and well above 130 km/h left ... And in the Netherlands you can do 100 km/h between 6 am and 7 pm and 130 km/h at night.
Belgium, where I drive most:
City center: 30km/h (you're faster by bike, but cars are gradually being banned here)
Residential area: 50 km/h
Rural: 70 to 90 km/h
Highway: 120 km/h
Most people here drive 10 km/h faster on the speedo than the maximum speed.
