No thanks :D yet I'm sure I'll push the limits at some point since the 99 near the Oak st bridge is 60 kmph.

It is probable that no-one was traveling 40-50, yet I personally doubt it. The law is here, so we gotta look on the bright side: at least it appear that officers are not nitpicking 40, 41, 42, ... over.

$1650 for going 40 over the limit is absolute horseshit no matter how you spin it. Fuck ICBC!

^it is horseshit but you have a choice of risking it or leaving earlier

if i get caught i will lose my license because im on probation still and on top of this with my already 45% premium there will be another $320 for 3years wich i cannot afford

so i will chose to go slower

While deep down I still think it is a money grab, it is also the driver's own fault for going 40+ over the limit. Comeon, 90+ in a 30 zone. What were you thinking? Won't somebody please think about the children.

Doing 90 on the White Rock strip (30) is retarded. Not only cause it's not safe but, fuck, cops are there all the time - that just makes him a total rItard.

120 on Hwy1 or Sea to Sky is totally different IMO.

Here is the guide for most of Europe, Canada falls in the middle of the pack. Be glad we haven't adopted what France, Finland or Denmark has. Yikes!

Japan is even stricter than France!

Here are the speed limits by country. We're again about average, although 130 kmph limits in some countries would be nice here.

Of course it's a money grab,if it wasn't,would the fine be this high.It's nothing more than a revenue generator,the province is flat broke nowadays.

Then don't go 40 over, idiot. Nobody NEEDS to go 40 over.

This argument is so ignorant.

What happens if people actually slow down (and/or stop drinking and driving) because of the new penalties? What happens to the revenue generator then? The stream dries up; the generator is self-obsoleting.

Stop and think for a moment before posting this kind of drivel.

Nice.
Consider the stretch between Maple Ridge and Coquitlam where one can hit over 40 very easily. What about Marine drive where the 4 lane highway with very few areas for traffic to enter or leave, and the limit is only 50kmh. Is going 90kmh on a 4 lane highway unreasonable?

Your reply sure was.

omg i did 121km today on the hwy today i need to get my license taken away
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Give the bureaucrats a little more credit. The fines are likely based on a simple model which takes into account the reduction of fines over a period of time. There will always be idiots out there who will get caught and this was probably factored in. You can't legislate against stupid behaviour.

It's really quite simple: move to Alberta or Montana or get organized and start a lobby group against the new laws. I hear that the Civil Liberties Union is already putting up a fuss. Maybe volunteer your time with them?

Our limits on open roads and highways could be raised substantially in many cases but this argument has already been beaten to death so I won't start it again.

Soundy.... :noob:

Driving impaired law: (not too sure if it was posted already)

http://www.canadiandriver.com/2010/0...-in-effect.htm

If they wanted it to be a money grab make it a set fine, no impound, no points, no insurance premiums - yet ticket like mad. Essentially then speeding would only hurt your pocketbook, and if you had enough $$$ you could speed all the time.

New law is dumb as fuck. Im fine with a ticket but getting a tow and impound is just stupid

damn the new impaired driving is pretty harsh too

i always see people driving 120 km/h on HWY 1. imo it should be the limit.

cops are retarded, doing speed traps on barnet

from 70km to 50km

fucking lame

And THAT is exactly why the impoundment is being added - jerks like you who think it's just fine to just suck up the fine as the price for going stupidly fast with no regard for the rest of society.

Slow the fuck down and you won't have to worry about it. Simple enough concept?

Moreso than the retards who can't read the speed signs?

If the speed limit was 30 kmph everywhere you go, would you follow it?
STFU&GTFO

heard on the radio this morning that the rcmp already got 5 people last night doing speeds of 40-120 over the limit!

how the fuck do they do 120 over the limit, and not have the thought "maybe im going to fast"

Ofcourse. Remember driving is a privilege not a right. If you don't like it, go to school, go into politics, and try and change it.
