Maybe it depends on what part of Ontario or Canada you're talking about. I don't recall a time when any place that I lived (Montreal then Southern Ontario) was as strict with speed limits as you say. Back when I was a kid, back before the Arab Oil Crisis, the speed limit on the 400 series highways (multi-lane controlled-access roads) was 70mph. Everyone went 80, and the cops let us. Then, along with the much of the rest of North America, the limit went down to 55mph, however, when we went metric, the limit went up to 100k/mh (about 61 or 61 mph). The cops won't ticket less than 120km/h, but most drivers seem to cruise between 130 and 140 km/h. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
