@OPP_HSD If people were properly trained and obeyed a few simple driving tenets, 130km/hr would not be unreasonable and 150km/hr would, at least, not always be terribly unsafe. Low limits to compensate for low competency is the wrong approach.

@OPP_HSD “Street racing”. Lol ok. Were they actually racing or just going 50 over the limit while everyone else on the highway goes 30 over? Let’s be honest here. Speed limits are ignored by 95% of the road going public.

@OPP_HSD In 97 I was part of a police volunteer program. Returning from a police event in Belleville in unmarked NRP crown vic cruiser. Officer driving was doing 180km+ per hrs on 401. We still see cops speeding today for no reason. Civilians see it. Just being respectfully honest.

@OPP_HSD @OPP_News I think the fines need to be harsher. It almost seems like a challenge for drivers now-a-days. These speeds should almost be attempted manslaughter charges.

@OPP_HSD And people say it’s unfair that insurance is lower for females....proof is in the pudding!!

@OPP_HSD Would be interested to know how long some of the drivers 18 and up have actually had a driver license in Ontario. Another thought, maybe bringing back photo radar, with hefty fines, loss of demerit points and impounding would slow down some of these drivers..

@OPP_HSD All vehicles have to have speed limiters and breathalyzer interlocks installed. After all, you do want to stop impaired driving and stu t driving don't you?

@OPP_HSD Traffic flow on the 407 is easily 130km/hr easy on any given day. How is a 100 km/hr speed limit on a 6 lane highway considered appropriate?

@OPP_HSD please advise how many of these people were men. isn't this really about male entitlement intersecting with privilege and toxic masculinity arising out of the negative effects of Patriarchy on men? we don't appreciate the word "people" being used when it's predominately men!

@OPP_HSD The problem is not the speed, but the speed differential. Those travelling at 120+ are the problem. I am tired of prevailing attitude that says “if I don’t get there before you, I’m not going to get there at all. Please move to other parts of world if you don't like it here
