I mean I suspect when you are going 140 in the passing sections that you aren’t going 140 through the windy sections so naturally you are also driving to the design speed of the segment of the road you are on.
You probably should relax more when you are driving as your post sounds pretty stressed just thinking about it.

So you think a 50km an hour difference in speeds is acceptable driving behavior? I'm not talking about these extremes where you are going 30 or 40 around hairpin turns coming in and out of a valley. Once you get past those most turns are rated within 15 of the speed limit.
I grew up in the B.C. Interior so I have driven most of those roads. I can't see how that's normal safe driving behavior.
