In the 70s when gas prices spiked.....kind of like today.....the powers that be lowered speed limits to try and save gas.....that was their story. They then placed a $100 excise tax on new cars equipped with air conditioners because those same powers that be thought this was a needless waste of that expensive and in short supply commodity.

That excise tax never went away and the speed limits were never increased.....

That's progress!!!!!!



Max speed on a multi lane highway in Ontario listed at 100kph. Everyone goes at least 15kph faster. A lot of the 2 lane highways are listed at 80kph. My wife was pulled over last year for driving the speed limit. When she asked the officer why she was being stopped, he said she was driving too slow!!!!
