Hey folks, I recently got my camaro impounded in BC for excessive speeding ( I got busted speeding while passing a semi) , and while I was surfing the internet searching similar matters I came across this interesting video about speed limits in Canada, specially in BC, which says extremely low speed limits can be dangerous and that are also a huge revenue ! Watch the video and let me know your thoughts / opinions about this video/topic.

P.S i couldnt figure out how to post the video here, so here is the link to it, enjoy:

i usually do 20 over, however, this time when i got busted, I passed those double semis on a short passing line and went up to 150 while passing, and thats when i got busted :( ....but oh well i guess we all learn from mistakes... next time i'll just wait for a longer passing lane

No more that 14 over for me! Cops here love ticketing and points start at 15kmph over the limit so 14 is max I'll do! lol

Great vid, thanks for posting. Think the only reason limits are not raised is for the cash flow, not safty. Exposed police = people slow down, Hidden police = money grab.
