Does anyone really use speed limiters anymore?

    I drive the 401 between Toronto > Ottawa 3 times a week. I usually have my speed between 98-101 km/h because I usually have lots of extra time on my route.

    Even the times I do 105, so many trucks will pass me going 110 or more. Even Midland Ontario trucks I think got nerfed to a higher speed. Our trucks go up to 112 on foot and 105 on cruise. I'll pass maybe one or two trucks each way. I never go over 105.

    Does it really make that much of a difference? Doesn't seem like many even drive 105, especially at night.

    Just looking for some feedback.

    No enforcement. If they called the trucks in for inspections, I bet over 90 percent don’t have in ont and que.

    Ontario only gives limiter ticket at 115 km/hr and won’t check ecm with EZ tap for years now due to inaccuracies which may require refunding previous tickets .. even a limited truck can be ticketed of rolling hills over 115 km/hr
