Deeb,

I thoroughly enjoy reading your prose.

I don't have a problem with the speed limit. I just more often ignore it.

I drive within my capabilities, respecting the road conditions, respecting the weather conditions and within the capabilities of my vehicle.

On a day like today (here in Ottawa after a significant snowfall with the roads snowcovered) you would not see me drive anywhere near the 80 km/hr limit - more like 50-60 km/hr tops - even though I am driving a 4x4 Jeep Cherokee.

I recall driving back from Montreal on a freezing rain day (speed limit 100 km/hr and 80 km/hr minimum limit) never going over 40 km/hr. I wonder why the police didn't enforce the 80 km/hr minimum limit?

Like Deeb says - its for the lowest common denominator.

On the other hand: Given a nice sunny day, dry roads, no traffic, driving my DeTomaso on the highway ...
