Just some regional stuff worth mentioning. In New England, it is very rare to see a speed limit above 65. Although it is kind of a patchwork, FD ambulances don't do a lot of "Non-emergency" work-that said, the majority of ambulance calls are quickly becoming priority 3 taxi rides. When I was certified in Connecticut in the mid-90's, there was a regulation (at least according to the guy at OEMS that I dealt with for out of state certification) that any occupied ambulance operating on the highway had to have their lights activated (siren was at the discretion of the operator.)
On a side note, I think we've all operated at a speed higher than the speed limit. Just the other day, I got an "escort" from two Rhode Island State Troopers on motorcycles down I-95 from Canton, MA to Attleboro, MA. They were doing 80 and I was a safe distance behind them....people kept moving out of their way.
