Actually i find where it gets bad is just before you enter kitchener when you go down the hill sometimes EVERYONE will slam on their brakes cause they see a cruiser.

Erm, 401 never enters Kitchener... The 85 coming north from 401 does. You must mean Cambridge, which the 401 barely grazes.

I hate to be a stickler... But the 401 goes through ...

I amgonna have to agree with Radar identified.

I think our speeds our to low i think the limit should be anywhere from120-150 and some areas we dont need one.

The problem in ontario is we have no lane discipline some roads are terrible quality, and ot much traffic.

If we wanted a limit like that Toronto could not be the place. Even in germany ...

I like your theories. I agree with you on the 400.

The QEW is neat i find its alot of people late for work and start to push the flow of traffic up there.

The 403 is a weird road. The traffic is either flowing extremely slow or the left lane literally gets to unlimited speeds.

401 drivers are funny Youll notice in the parts that are not near ...

They are testing the helicopter.
Around the same last sunday near bowmanvillle.


That's All

Hwybear from what i have heard patrolls west between London and Essex in carnage alley.



Bowmanville is a long way from there NO WAY that is in his zone. Bowmanville is east of Oshawa.

Also the 401 is 2 lanes there with a center median ...

Oh god they got a helicopter now?

What next is the OPP gonna blow your car up on global news for going 175?

It can be hard to move over with heavy traffic (GTA).

As regards to me driving dangerously, if that was the case the officer inside the car with the lidar unit would have pulled me over for speeding. I was slowing down and pulling to the right to get off at my exit and was quite shocked.

Secondly with the sirens anyone playing music in their car ...

haha i wonder what was in the trunk of the car.

Maybee he had a few dozen boston creams for his team mates and couldn't let them go bad.

radar identified you seem to know your roads.

Every time i enter the 400 i am amazed but someone going some crazy speed.

The QEW your right is very hard to set up radar traps. That detachment in Mississauga spends most of their time on the 403 looking for speeders and sometimes they go on the 401 i rarely see them by the QEW.

The QEW is so tight ...

Sure you would be able to issue more tickets but some cars might not notice them like the marked vics.

When you see a marked vic it is clearly one and you get the hell out of the way.

Those lights bar on the roof can be seen from REALLY far away.

If there is an officer at the side of the road giving a ticket and he only has some light LED's on ...

Wholy *EDIT* what is going on there.

Looks like you guys got the whole force on the side of the 401.

I see some marked vics and the tahoe to.

Were you on the bridge with a laser tri pod and radio the cars when you get a speeder?

Why would you have all 8 there haha.

Looks like something you would expect to see on hwy 400 S/N.

As for the one on allen.

I think speed limits are a bit to high or right in the city.

In the city you have traffic lights, pedestrians, buses, people darting out infront, stop signs, cars going all which ways.

Speeding in the city is really stupid.

Infact i think downtown 50 or 60 is fast. There is so many things to pay attention to. This guy ...

This article makes a good point. Slower does not = safer.

The province never thought about the unintended consequences of this law. It's messing with the natural flow of traffic.

I like the fact he also points out about having our officers actually ticketing people who are clogging the 2 left lanes stopping TRUCKS & cars from passing.

Alot of ...

Make big trucks go slower and the roads will become safer.

Obvious, isn't it? It's also obvious when you look out the window that the world is flat.

Last Monday, truckers in Ontario tried to mount a convoy to Queen's Park to show their opposition to electronic speed limiters. These devices ...

Just to show my point. The top led bars can be bought for around 500.

But some guy with a dodge charger and 50 $ could put a couple grill lights on his car for some kicks.

"Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers will soon be patrolling Ontario roadways and communities in the traditional black and white police car, adding greater visibility and instant recognition to OPP general duty and traffic patrol.

"We welcome the return of the traditional black and white cruisers," said ...

But that may work for catching speeders but the OPP's job is not catching speeders. The public would not support that. They are there to show their presence on the highway. Alot of people seem to think it is a scam when they get pulled over by an unmarked car.

Their job is safety. When there is an accident or a incident on the road this is what ...

One thing i must say about double talk which starts alot of trouble is police officers that speed. Police enforce laws. They are supposed to follow them. If the sign says "Maximum" they should be setting the example for the rest on the road. When we here stories of offficers going 165 on the highway or more then 150 and getting away with it does ...

Well i agree with what you guys are saying.

But most of the time a reason someone tailgates is cause someone else is not using proper lane discipline.

Now if the situation allows most people wont care they'll just race around the road block on the right and weave through cars to get around him.

The problem starts in medium traffic where you cant ...

Hahahaha the autobhan on the 401.

What a joke.

This is very possible outside the GTA and maybee inside in off Peak times. I think this is unrealistic.

People have NO LANE discipline in Ontario. Once we have this you can do that.

Secondly something that puzzles me since day one maybee hwybear knows is why do all 400 series highways have that ...

Well okay on a one lane street or a traffic jam can be hard to deal with.

Im mainly referring to alot of the sections where its 3 + lanes without traffic.

Sometimes on a 1 lane street that people want to go faster on ill just put on my right signal or my 4 ways, slow down, move a bit over to give the other guy room and to let the other guy pass ...

I dont think vehicles like this should be used.

Online you can buy those exact LED's that go in those cars.

If police vehicles were random you would have no idea whether its some prankster or an actual officer.

You can buy those light bars.

I like the OPP's policy. There cruisers stand out and you dont miss them.

The marked black and white ...

I understand what you mean about double talk. Maybee ill say why people tend to think this way.

For one when it comes to following to close. IMO i dont think this is a necessary law. The only reason someone follows to close is because someone is noy obeying lane discipline. Unless there is a massive traffic jam (401 in rush hour in toronto) then ...

I was on 401 west today. I couldn't believe my eyes. Hwybear would have needed a hug.

There must have been about 7-12 cars all tailgating each other going between 135-140 km/hr.

It wasnt a issue IMO.

But boy oh boy as soon as that convoy encountered some slow trucks or some drivers who would not more over to the right and plugged the passing ...

That law dos nothing it still ignores the fact cell phone drivers are DISTRACTED.

Maybe a law banning all passengers would be more realistic to.

Come on here, playing with the radio, text messaging, talking to your wife, feeding a baby while driving, having the dog in the front seat, eating and driving.

These things are all distractions, some ...

Im not going to criticize you if you drive 100 on the dot.

There is nothing wrong with that. If you choose to drive less than the speed limit and the flow of traffic you should be in the far right lane so others can pass you and you don't create traffic jams and enrage other drivers who then will use dangerous and illegal maneuvers to pass you.

I ...

So whats this coming to now. 100 over the speed limit and Julian Fantino will blow up your car on global news, and charge you for the cost of clean up?

150 over the speed limit and they'll toss you in the nearest OPP detachment for a date with an Old pile of phone books ,julian fantino and the officer that clocked you?

Stunt:

"# a difficult or unusual or dangerous feat; usually done to gain attention "

"A stunt is an unusual and difficult physical feat, or any act requiring a special skill, performed for artistic purposes in TV, theatre, or cinema ..."

So taking your V6 Sedan on a 400 series highway in the middle of the night and driving in a straight line ...

Wait on the 400 at 8:30 am or just after midnight?

the 400 is fast. Its 4 or 5 lanes there i can't remember i have had my doors blown off many times there going just over 120.

And 50 over the speed limit.

Where though.

Is 50 over in a school zone at 9am just as bad as 50 over on the 401 at 4 am in the morning????????????????????????????

How ...

Haha some parts of the 401 in toronto look like a giant slice of swiss cheese there is so many holes.

The worse part is you cant close that highway or the traffic backup would be ridiculous.

People have gone more then this. Just go ask a well of freind his first week with his new BMW or Ferrari.

I want to clarfiy what i said incase anyone is offended by my post.

I in no way encourage this kind of speed that is dangerous and 250 puts peoples lives in range. Even if the flow of traffic was 130 that is double that. Knowing the 400 that ...
