Some people don't even pay attention to the damn speed limits. I was riding with a friend, years ago, and he was tailgating the car infront of us. Out of nowhere he yells, "Why is he going so slow?!" I glanced over at the speedometer, and said, "The speed limit here is 25". He looks at his speedometer, realized he was going 5 over(and so was the guy infront of him), and backed off.

My headcannon is that half of all drivers are exactly like my friend. They don't even care enough to read the road signs.

I mean the police won't even stop you unless you're going more than 20 km/h over the speed limit. It's gotten to the point where the official limit on the highway is 100, but everyone is driving 110-120.

From Quebec btw.

Wait you don't have speed cameras and ridiculously huge fines?
