No worries. I just wanted to head it off "in case." Threads like this in the past on "other" sites have taken unfortunate turns to cop-bashing ... which is something my friends Tom, Dustin, and others don't really like (and by extension, I don't like).

I'm good with that.... I've been a cop for almost 10 yrs... I guess I should have known better...

dont speed in ontario....50 kms over the limit anywhere in the province could net ya a $10,000 fine, road side license suspension and a week of impound for your car(at your expense of course). i guess they got tired of hot roddin around on the highways

The cost of the speeding ticket is nothing compared to what the insurance companies whack you with after the ticket. You're lucky . . . in MA they don't let you go to traffic school on-line or otherwise. You get points for every ticket you receive and your insurance costs go up.

I'd speed like a madman if I wouldn't get whacked by the insurance company.

No kidding. I bet drivers are very patient there, unlike SoCal.

Were you the one honking at me and riding my bumper while I was doing 25 in the fast lane.

Boston drivers arnt exactly tame.... I remember learning to drive ("safely") there for a year, then coming back to Ohio to complete my drivers ed and get my Ohio licence.... I scared the SH!T out of that poor instructor... she was hittin the chicken brake on her side every 5 minutes. It's not that i'm a bad driver, to this day i've maintained a perfect record... just folks drive differently there
