Speeding crackdown Sunday

Sep 28, 2007 02:35 PM


Ontario, Canada’s new street car racing rule is affecting a lot on Sunday and polices predicts many "shocks and awes" over the tough new provincial legislation.

If a driver is caught going fifty (50)km over the speed limit, the police officer has right to take away the driver’s car and license for 7days with a minimum of $2,000 fine.

The safety officials are optimistic about the new law and they think that it is a very good idea and will help drivers to drive safer.

Brian Patterson, the president of the Ontario Safety League, said “This is going to be a good day for safety driving”.

On Saturday, before the legislation was made, when a driver gets caught driving at 160km/h when the speed limit is 100km/h, you would receive a summons to appear in court and be on your way.

In my opinion, this new legislation is a great idea! By this law, many people will get affected by it. This will help people to drive safe and keep them in the speed zone. I think that over the next few years, you will see a lot of changes of the driving policies in Ontario. On the other hand, it will be very busy for polices and courts for them.

I think it is easier for police officers to take care of speed racers. People would consider more about the speed limit. This might not just affect Ontario, it can affect policies all around the world because I also agreed that this is very good idea to keep people drive safe.
