    Speed limit 56 mph (90 km/h). I'm doing 63 mph. How fast do you think he/she was going? lol

    Don't really need to worry about them where he is driving ... the wildlife at night takes care of it usually. If you go off the road where he is you either go into deep rhubarb if you are lucky or into the Canadian shield (huge rocks) or a lake ...

    If you are doing 63 and he is doing 163 and the speed limit is 56. You are both law breakers plain and simple.

    Yes, I'm exceeding the posted limit. No, the OPP will not ticket me. They will pass me though. 62/63 on that road will keep you away from traffic most of the time. Much slower and you'll constantly have people catching you and passing you. Much faster and the opposite occurs. When in Rome as they say.

    The guy who went by me like I was standing still though would get ticketed. At the speed he/she seems to be going that's what they call stunt driving here and the costs are high. Minimum fine is 2 grand, immediate license suspension, roadside seizure of vehicle. Impound costs when you get the vehicle back. Not sure how many points on the license.

    Just curious how fast people think they were going though.
