Hi,
This has been my third trip in about 7 months. Rarely was there anyone going the posted speed limit. I was on the 401 to 403 and QEW. Where there were 4 lanes or more it was hairy. I stayed out of the left lane and kept it moving slower. Even so, cars were weaving in and out, all of a sudden right on my tail. This doesn't matter what time of the day/night it seems.
I am not trying to be offensive, and it doesn't surprise me that I'd get pulled over quicker because I am from the states and yes I do know the difference between kilometers and mph. We have travelled through Chicago and Detroit many times and it was definitely a little harried than there. I have travelled in Canada many times, but not these particular roads.
BTW- one of my closest friends in Essex's sister in law is a cop.
Lighten up.

>Wow! Its like the audabon there traffic wise! Kill or be killed. I thought about calling a Canadian friend of mine to find out what the "real" speed limit was LOL... You know, in the US you can usually go about 5 mph over but in Canada they weren't paying any attention whatsoever.... either slower or FASTER, like faster than the speed of light!!!<
No, I don't think so. Kill or be killed? Are you serious? You should have called some Canadian friend! You make that sound like it's a war over here on our highways! You can only go a little over the speed limit here also which would be about 5 mph. Our speed signs are in "kilometers" not MPH! If you are going to drive on our highways, learn what "kilometers" mean.
>but in Canada they weren't paying any attention whatsoever.... either slower or FASTER, like faster than the speed of light!!!<
>"they weren't paying any attention whatsoever...."< So? How fast were you going?
Do you know what our O.P.P. cop cars look like? We also have plain unmarked "cop/detective"cars! You are lucky that you did not get stopped and fined for speeding.
On your next trip to Canada, take notice and learn what km. are for the speed here, and of this message and watch yourself. THEY WILL NAIL YOU, especially when you have an American license plate! You will not get away so easy next time!
