If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember - street racers are accidents which have not happened yet. Please drive safe and do not race.

thats a really crappy rule, because if you are speeding, it doesn't mean you are street racing. And sometimes, the 401 is soo empty and everyone is doing at least 140+

Well my friend was actually going 148 when the police stopped him on the high way..but they didn't suspend his license, all he got was a 300 dollar fine and he is a G2 driver. Maybe it was because he was a student...but i think it should still be considered "racing" if you are going that fast.

I think this is a stupid rule. Its not fast drivers that cause accidents, its the stupid drivers that do. I think a ticket is fine, but a getting ur license suspended and car impounded is an extreme.

I completely agree with ayza85. There are people who drive 1 km/h over the limit and manage to get into horrific accidents.

To clkio - I never said that "going 50 over limit" = "racing". I just said that the penalty is the same. However, if you DO race AND go 50 over the limit, that WILL land you 12 demerit points.... So do judge accordingly.

"racing" does not necessarily mean "street racing another car" racing. Speeding can indicate racing as in racing to get to your destination be it work, a social event etc.
