The 401
#61
Now that I think of it, we took a picture of the speedo registering 120 with my daughter at the wheel. Not sure which computer that's on but it was quite bold as she doesn't have a license.

This is me being driven by my dog, he has a licence, but i don't think it covers him for driving.

I commuted for 2 years from downtown TO to Mississauga along the Gardiner/427/401. It was a nightmare at first but easy as pie after a while.
The worst thing is the multitude of accidents you see every week, there are some really really crappy drivers in Canada.

Of course. And I enjoy being driven by them in a spirited fashion.
I'll take that to be a NO then.

Weather, accidents and construction probably play a larger part in commute time there though dont they?

I never stated/suggested that you are the only idiotic driver on the roads. I consider 153km/hr in a 80km/hr zone to be idiotic driving and I'm not, before you say/think it, an old slowpoke when driving.
Do/did you drive at such speeds when your children and spouses/partners were/are in your car?

I regularly drove at 100mph (160kph for those who don't speak proper English) on the M4, M5 and M6 without any problems at all. I feel quite capable of similar speeds here on the 400-series highways if it weren't from the damn potholes.

Remember they do seize your car at 60 km/hr over the limit.

Quite frankly, I don't find Ontario drivers any worse than in England. Just different, that's all. Other there in particular, I'm always surprised after only a couple of hours driving, how many really poor, way-under-the speed limit, scared shitless drivers I encounter, that I just don't see as much of here.

Potholes, bad driving and the impounding of vehicles has curbed my enthusiasm for driving fast much better than those speed camera vans on the side of the road ever did in the UK.
