A little earlier today I was almost hit as I backed out of my parking spot. It's a busy, packed lot so I couldn't see the oncoming car, as it was blocked by the Escalade parked next to me. As he passed, I could tell he was going somewhere in the area of at least 25 mph.

So here's my question, how fast do you go in parking lots packed with cars?

12ish. But in a higher gear so there's enough load on the engine and you get some exhausty goodness

10-15. I've seen people cooking it through parking lots at double that. For some reason these almost always are SUVs.

Pretty slow. I'm terrified of a kid running out in front of the car so I like to play it safe.

I heard it once from an officer's mouth that parking lots, here at least, are governed to 15MPH unless otherwise marked.

Ditto. Save it for the track.
