Ontario

I find that speeders often assume that it is only their driving skill that should define their speed. They don't acknowledge that they will be driving in traffic or what the roads sight lines might be. They are also often delusional about how good a driver they are. There are many times when following a speeder that has woven through traffic that you can visually see all the cars that swerved or hit the brakes so that the "excellent driver" could get through unscathed.

Their twitter is full of other such wisdumb

As someone who had their life ruined by a speeding driver who ignored a red light, fuck anyone who speeds.

Speed cameras are a money grab and should be abolished because they don't actually result in safer driving and really is just a revenue generator.

Instead non-highway roads should be narrowed or otherwise calmed (and use that extra space for bike/pedestrian paths), this naturally causes almost all drivers to slow down, which increases safety. (source)

Hitting someone at 60km/h vs 50km/h could mean the difference between whether they survive or not. This person should not be driving.

I'm actually sympathetic to these folks, because there's a bunch of studies that show that people drive the speed that feels safe. You can't engineer a road to be safe for 15 mph over the posted speed limit and be shook when folks do the speed that feels safe (the US does this ALL THE TIME). That kind of engineering is all but guaranteeing that an enforcement control is going to be a money printer.

61 in a 50 is 22% over.

My impression is that there has been an unspoken compromise between safety advocates and ordinary drivers, with the safety advocates getting to set low speed limits and the drivers getting to ignore those speed limits. Speed cameras are putting an end to that compromise. I wonder if that will generate the political will necessary to increase speed limits - there are, after all, a lot more speeders than safety advocates.

Ontario entitled drivers was one of the tipping points on my pro and cons list of leaving Ontario, to move to BC.

I'll preface by saying I'm a safe driver, no accidents in 38 years of driving.

As a driver of a Honda: I had Chrysler owners try to drive me off the road yelling nonsense about jap scrap.

As a motorcyclist in a curve of on ramp: I was gaining on a lifted truck, not fast or tailgater just started in the ramp later and catching up, douch in truck didn't like that his truck wasn't handling as well so he purpose left the road and drove on the gravel shoulder and gunned it to spray gravel all over the road. Obviously I just back off the throttle to straighten the bike up. While he sped off.

As a cyclist: I had two major ones. A truck didn't like that he had to go around me, he didn't want to leave his lane to pass and just kept honking and yelling get off the road. I countered I have the same right as you. He did not like that so passed me then turned hard to the curb forcing my bike between his truck body and the curb where I had to hop onto the sidewalk.

The other was me cycling on the side of road and passing traffic as they slowed to a stop, some ass threw open his passenger door to block me moving forward. He wanted to be first.

Just losers. BC drivers understand cycling and pedestrians

Ten over is standard her cops don't even notice anything less than 20 over if you aren't in a school zone

Speed limits are arbitrary.

It's not entitlement if the laws make no sense.

Oh so this is the guy who drives an inch from my bumper whenever I don't speed.

If you where driving with 61 inn 50 area, you shouldn't be driving!!!! How many people must die or left permanent disable, for you to drive faster?

They should become speed limits, rather than remaining speed targets.
