You are very fortunate if you never have to drive a kilometer or an hour. Carrying your reasoning a bit further, it's unreasonable to describe the speed of a bullet fired at a nearby target in meters per second since it doesn't go for a whole second. I suggest then that you should invent new units of distance and time for each motion you make, and that way your speed will always be 1.0; e.g., "I just went 1 queet per flasm; pretty fast, huh?"

its not calculated like that everywhere, the SI units are m/s, but you could use any distance measurement per any time measurement. Its just what standard you go by that determines what units you use.
