Once our speed limits are metric it would be quite irresposible in my view if journalists were to ignore it and keep to mph. It's important for drvers to get used to km/h in a country with newly metricated speed limits.
Do I draw from this that speed limits are metric in Canada but journalists still refer to 0 to 60 mph?
