Driving in Quebec, Canada
I thought this entry might be of help to anyone planning to drive in Quebec, Canada. First, they (the police) are getting very tough. I passed a car on the right that was waiting to make a left turn...I passed around him at 2-4 mph. I was stopped and given a ticket for $154. The cop would not talk to me except to say that I had one month to pay the fine. Second, I noticed signs, billboard size, along various places on the highway, stating that anyone driving 140Km( 90mph) will get a ticket for $648 + 10 points on their license.
I drive an E500 4Matic and have at times hit 90mph when passing a string of cars...the car has so much power.
Just a warning to take care.

Juliana Fantina = bald pig police chief
The chief is well supported by the politicians because his men bring in the dough. Parking and "speeding" tickets bring in millions of dollars every month to the socialist politicians here. Bloody hypocrites.

The further away you are from the border the safer. For example, North Carolina has no such arrangements with Canada. I often question the legality of the NY-Ontario arrangement because one country is enforcing the law for another country.

in Toronto over 300 cars get impounded weekly from people doing over 50 km/h or 'racing' or doing 'stunts'. I see many on the 401 daily. It's total bull****.
It makes the police the Judge on the spot. You also get a $10,000 fine (maximum) also pay for the impound daily fee for the week and for the tow
