As was pointed out yesterday in another thread, most of the rhetoric is from the politicians and their minions, taking the unfortunate events of the past few weeks and making them into a political football. Going 50 over the limit, even though I'm as guilty as most, is excessive and unecessary. What Fantino should have said was that excessive speed will not be tolerated and fines will be increased, with possible jail time. One of the reasons I am a member of this site is because of the stand on street racing and stupid driving. If this was one of those dumb "speed and testosterone loaded" sites where only whose the fastest off the stoplight counted, or who smoked what on the street, then I wouldn't be here. Needless to say, Fantino is just following orders from his political bosses.
