You don’t seem like you are going that fast because everyone around you is doing the same thing. People don’t even slow down on the 407 from 160 when there’s a cop driving beside them. Other 400 series highways are 130-140 average. > > [QUOTE=DYMO;35142]its all for public appeal, politics, blah blah blah. > they’re crucifying drivers because of a select few idiots. There are WAY more accidents caused by drunk driving than street racing, but they want to make an example out of it. ITs all to win a popularity vote and make it seem like politicians are actually doing something. THe plane = YES, the new laws = NO. You are overlooking the fact that they have made it significantly harder in the past few years for drunk drivers. Moreso than street racing actually. I agree that it is not stringent enough but there is only so much you can do without trying it and they seem to be trying it all slowly. I don’t agree with this new law and what the cops are doing. I am against it. People that know me know that this law will be hardest on me. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/street-racing-crackdown-50-km-h-rule-opp-plane/134197)._
