Re: 2008 Greater Toronto Regional!
Well, I don't know if you've ever driven the 401 through Toronto area, but at points its a SIXTEEN lane cross section. It is very very easy to find oneself doing 130km/h, 140km/h and even more just keeping with traffic, when traffic is moving. When its stopped, you'll be lucky to see 40km/h.

I drive it all the time, and I'm never trying to go more than 120km/h (roughly 10mph over, and roughly michigan's highway speed limit.), but I often find myself being the slowest one of the group, and I'm STILL doing 135km/h

I've been being especially conscious of this since the 50 over law came out, as I don't have any particular interest in a $10,000 fine and having my car impounded on the spot.

Another thing for you out of provincers, If you are approaching an emergency vehicle on the shoulder, GET OUT OF THE RIGHT LANE. They have been fining a TON of people for this lately, as a few officers have been killed.
