Lower speed threshold for stunt driving charges

110-120 is kinda norm here.

Mother nature seems to be pretty good at taking care of those in the lower skill set who speed in cars and motorcycles and I am pretty OK with that, but its the collateral damage they cause and lives' lost that is upsetting.

The rural roads around me are posted at 80 and I very often follow the Police doing 100. As long as your under 100 around here you are fine.

I remember when I first moved to Ottawa in 1993 I thought the Highway 417 through Ottawa was the autobahn. I use to drive my little Suzuki GS 400 down the highway at full throttle. I got pulled over once and I know exactly how fast the bike could go. The bike said I was doing 170 and the cop said he got me at 167. He asked why I was going so fast, had to think quick and I told him my Girl Friend in Carleton Place was sick and I had to get there. He let me go and told me to slow down. Good thing he did not look closely at my back pack as the tip of my rod was just sticking out slightly.

I once made it my GF from Vanier to Carleton Place in her driveway under 20 minutes, I lucked out and hit all green lights to the highway and by the time I got on the ramp to the highway I was on full throttle, think I went down St Laurent street around 150

It's always about the collateral damage ... the family or the children that get wiped out because of some idiot who thinks he's Hamilton in his beat up truck.

Most people pass me on the 401 when I am doing 120

Hes seen some screwed up things in his life, and the 1 thing he always said is he never wears a seat belt anymore. He's seen so many people decapitated by their seat belts its insane.

I get a kick out of people who think they can drive in the same manner on slippery roads as they do on dry roads because they happen to have a AWD or 4X4. I like to tell them it'll only get them into trouble twice as fast.
