Ontario drivers - beware of new nasty speeding law
"TORONTO (CBC) - At least 41 people temporarily lost their vehicles and their driver's licences after police began Sunday to enforce a new Ontario law intended to crack down on street racing and dangerous driving.

You forgot to mention if you plan on contesting the charges the fine doubles
and a second offence is grounds for a 10 year driving ban and your car is crushed
that law-makes my blood boil
It's an immediate suspension and loss of possesion (speeding on the highway keep it under 90 mph or say good bye) and if you wanted to appeal you still lose your vehicle for 7 days
the city stops cleaning snow if the sun is out
CC companies are paying for the ice rinks
shouldn't this be in offtopic?
