So guys is it me or i am the only one in this forum that seems to think our limits our way to low. I mean i cant drive the limit. Even in the right lane at 100 i get honked at by trucks. I mean the Police, transports, old people, 4 cylinders, SUV's, Vans, Ice cream trucks and everything on 4 wheels or more seems to drive more than 100 on our 400 series highways when they're is not a major traffic jam. I cant even drive 115-120. I mean if i drive 115 in the middle lane i start becoming an obstruction to the other traffic. If i drive in the left lane and even try to stay at 120 i will have people racing around me, honking at me, passing on the shoulder, high beaming me, and doing anything to get around me. What gives. I have been on many highways in the GTA with the flow of traffic going at 130 and this still happens. Ive seen many officer also drive 20-30 over on our highways. So is it just me or am i the only one that does this in this province? It seems to me every time i take a 400 series that the flow of traffic is driving these speeds. I remember when i first started driving on our 400's and i was on the 400 S going about 120 and i was just getting my door's blown off. Its not just the 400. Even on the 401 or the QEW people are still trying to pass at 130. The Cops know it to. They aren't blind i am sure. I dont think everyone is this blind. I am not blind i am driving on these things alot and tons of people everyday are all going 120-130 and there is still enough people trying to pass. The OPP can't get them all. The limit really bugs me. Then you pass some trucks in the left lane going 115 and you get dinged a few hundred and insurance for passing them and reaching 140 while trying to move out of the way of those guys on your ass cause your still going to slow. So what speed are we supposed to go? If you go with the flow of traffic you can get screwed out of hundreds of dollars and face massive insurance increases. But one time i tried to slow down. There was a female in the car. She freaked out cause i was going 125. SO i told her i would slow down for her safety. So i tried to go 110 in the middle lane of the 400. Within seconds we had people passing on the right, left, swerving around us, high beams, the usual etc. 100 km/hr? The whole rest of the world goes faster then this. Most of Europe goes 120-130 and they have crappy roads compared to the quality of some of our roads they also do it with old junky unsafe cars. I mean our own police won't even go 100 so why is the limit set at that. Maybee its one thing to set the limit at 100 in the GTA but outside the GTA with 3 lanes and a concrete median with 6 + feet of shoulder. Let's get real. Maybee also a higher limit or more realistic one would allow the OPP to focus on other issues. Lane discipline, real aggressive drivers, aggressive trucks, unsafe loads, careless driving. This low limit is causing problems and its wreaking havoc with our lane discipline. Ontarian's treat lane discipline like a joke and to me i think its perhaps the most dangerous thing on the road. I see it everyday, people refuse to move so they race around the traffic and almost crash into each other and the trucks. And slowing trucks to 105 is supposed to make things better, ya right maybe if they are forced to drive in the right lane. Some day ill hope they will raise the limits, put up some big signs "Move right except to pass," fix the paint and those annoying right lanes that end out of no where, and maybee the OPP can focus on the really fast, slow, and dangerous drivers and truckers. Maybee a higher limit would allow the OPP to go for those real stunt drivers. Not the ones going 50 over the 100 limit but the ones that are going 50 over the actual flow of traffic or the speed people actually drive.

Do you have a car that everyone hates, or that seems to attract jackasses? Acura Vigor? BMW 5-series?
