Default Fantino: it should have been 30 not 50 over

The shoulder lanes would be clogged with truckers, grannies, grandpas and everybody else.....

I don't think they get it, obviously this isn't doing anything and I don't see how making it to only 30 max will improve things. Obviously the approach that they're taking isn't working.<ul><li><a href="http://www.thestar.com/News/Ontario/article/271572">http://www.thestar.com/News/Ontario/article/271572</a</li></ul>

Default right, because 30 km/h over would give them less work to do? they're overwhelmed as it is!

I expect with the 30 over, they wouldn't have enough people to catch all the speeders, and would be overwhelmed with processing motorists.

in some states, it's even tougher than 30 over, but hopefully that won't be the case here. laws don't fix recklessness. much.

Default What an *******

Sometimes I wish we could elect our cops and judges like in the US. Most days no, but reading anything spouted by this idiot makes me very angry that he has power over me, and that I have no ability to vote him out of office.

Default DO IT - I want to see their system deal with the mess. Idiots.

I'd be 100% willing to slow down while they eat their own words.

Overloaded courts, overloaded pounds, overloaded highways. It'll make these incompetant bigots realize how stupid they are.

Default $2k minimum?

Is that for real? It hasn't been in the news out west. In Alberta I'd say that 30kmh is that unwritten line where tickets start. I don't recall ever going on the highway without being 50 over at some point.
It's not just for going that fast while racing?

No, it's just for going fast. You can be alone on the highway in the middle of the night. Still $2k.

Default >1000 fined so far? That's totals more than $1M in towing/impound fees, and minimum $2M in fines!

Fantino probably never imagined how big of a cash cow this turned out to be.

"Imagine the potential revenue at 30-over!"

That does it. What does it take to become a paralegal? Besides the bad suit and ugly tie.
