i hear you on the speeding stuff voodoo, if youre not comfortable speeding, go ahead and drive slow....

a small consolation: ive worked for the MTO and done some highway design (the stretch between k-w and woodstock, actually) and they design NEW highways for 120kph for an all-weather safe speed - - which i sort of look at like "if the road were icy" speed

i cant do long trips at the speed limit....i did it ONCE from london to sudbury and it was a lonnnnnnnnng drive!

if you look at the numbers from here to niagara falls (+/- 1400km) you get 14h at 100km/h (say 65mph which is the speed limit most of the way thru the states). by doing 115kph it knocks it down to 12h 10min. speeding makes a HUGE difference over such a long drive, trust me!

that being said, in town in f'ton i usually stick to the speed limit. its just those people doing 40kph that get to me! but thats another rant altogether
