Why don't you go test the theory for us  | No thanks 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.

^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

Fuck ICBC! | 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.

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.

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.

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

| 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?

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

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"
