Interestingly that’s a speed that should mask you from their missile’s doppler radar.
It uses relative closing speed to distinguish its target aircraft from ground clutter, so for that reason something a bit higher than highway speed is chosen to be the minimum speed for lock on. They’d need to hit you with guns.
Anyway if you’re near a dogfight don’t speed on the highway.

So it’s basically a T-Rex and if I don’t move I’m fine?

Unless it has a reason to specifically target you, in which case I would recommend abandoning your car and hiding behind or under something.
