like look at the 401  you try doing 100 in all 4 lanes you'll back up traffic for 10km. 


its just me but the blurry grace period that cops are allowed to yous is bulls***.  there should be a set speed limit and off with you head if you exceed it. 


like 401 should be 110 maby 120 in places. 



we all drive that fast any way?

Thing is though that In theory if everyone followed the rules, the leftmost lane would be free to pass at all times to allow for the slight variance in speeds amongst cars.

Did you know for example that up to a 2% varience in speed is acceptable when a speedometre is calibrated? As tires wear that also can cause a speedometre to vary its readings slightly. Add to that the fact that if you change tire sizes to anything other than OE sizes you introduce even more variance.

Given the above paragraph, if the rules were followed I could still see enough differentiation in speeds that the lanes of traffic would be markedly different no matter what the set speed was.

and that's why cops have that "fuzzy" area when travelling at such a high rate of speed.
