lenray: I've made up my mind that 100kph or 62.5 mph is the minamum. You go any slower than that and you get the finger. They did catch a guy near London last summer doing 206 kph. The powers that be did think he was a bit out of line. My son was on 401 at Toronto where it is 5 lanes wide plus collectors. He was in second lane from the left or medium with a Ford 7.3 cube van. A guy in a Mercedes complained via cell to Sandy's boss (a lady) Sandy had cut him off when he pulled out to pass. He told her he was doing 125 kph when he pulled out. He estimated the Mercedes was doing 150 to 160 kph. You may have noticed construction just west of Camebridge this past summer, adding lanes, posted speed limit 80kph. I slowed up to 80 with tractor trailer, traffic was going twice my speed. I met one of the foremen on that job a few days later. I said to him, " I wouldn't work at construction on highways in ON unless I were allowed to carry a machine gun and use it." The disregard for human safety around here is plain terrible. I was in Detroit Fri., heard on Chatham radio roads were quite sliprey from Woodstock to Camebridge. I went to Toronto yesterday, and by looks of tracks I think most of them must have been driving in ditches and medium on Fri. Some of them actually think they can drive that same speed on icy roads.
