I'm driving from home 2 to home base up I-29, the speed limit is 80mph. That's just crazy, construction zone slow downs are friggin' 65mph.
Oh, and I guess phones can do lots of futurey stuff too these days.
How high will they push speed limits?

80 mph.

i dreamed a dream.

try having to drive 60mph on major highways.

If you were to design the perfect speed trap, it would look a lot like Ontario. Its highway speed limits are among the lowest in the developed world. It’s illegal to use a radar detector, and there’s a law that allows roadside car seizures and fines of up to $10,000 for drivers caught exceeding the limit by 50 km/h.

Speeding tickets are an Ontario growth industry. More than 750,000 drivers are convicted of speeding each year, generating millions of dollars in fines. In a 12-year period ending in 2010 – the most recent year that the province supplies statistics for – the number of speeding convictions increased by nearly 32 per cent, even though Ontario’s population grew by less than 16 per cent.

Onterribad :/ Hey, what effect do you think the exaggerated trillions of trades workers heading back your way from Alberta will have on your area? Things are super bad there (where I'm headed).

Go to Japan or Singapore if you want to see the future. The western world is stuck in 1970 forever.
