Hi Pinsog
The speed limit below 10,000 feet is 250 knots. I don't KNOW why except that is where most aircraft come into the closest contact with one another. There are speed limits down low almost everywhere in the world, but sometimes there is nobody around to monitor itm also depending were you are. If you're in North America or Europe, somebody will be watching.
You CAN get permission to exceed taht speed for special events liek a race or an airshow, but it is very specific and takes coordination to not run afoul of the authorities otherwise.
You might get away with going fast somehwere in Africa or over some islands if nobody is watching the radar, but you don't really know when that is. Maybe parts of Peru where the mountains hide you from radar coverage ... but nowhere NEAR where I live in Southern California. They might not watch the middle of Australia ... depends on if there is any water left. But you can bet they're watching the coast where the people are located.
