OPP ZERO TOLERANCE... FINALLY!!

Driving thru northern Ontario on HWY 17 has always been extra dangerous. Now the OPP has set a zero tolerance, so see how it's going. It's the first time I set the cruise at 90kms/h ALL THE WAY, and it wasn't bad at all, I actually survived it!!
Anyways, witness some of the crazy "professional" drivers out there.
Kinda SCARY, eh!

Actually, Erb and Arnold Bros have some of the best drivers. You'll never see them do stupid things.

Cheers,

I drive the EXACT speed limit everywhere I go.. it's DISGUSTING how many people pass me. In a 50km/h residential zone I get people FLYING past me, riding my bumper. I too as well drive 90km/h exact on those northern roads, EVERYONE wants to pass me.. no one has no respect for road rules anymore. They all treat the roads like a race track.  Disgusting! Keep up the safe driving!

Realistically, there's nothing wrong with speeding a little in larger trucks. A 90km/h crash is just as bad as a 100-150km/h crash. And driving faster only marginally increases those chances.

Is it smart? hell no it aint! But is it safe? More or less. :D

Doesnt help when alot of the drivers in ontario are those god damn towel heads that shouldnt be on the road in the first place. They have no respect for other drivers on the road

Why not you just go a little faster than 90 km/h? In my town, many truckers go over 100, Maximum speed is 80, they don't give a fuck. More drivers drive fast nowadays. For me, I hate driving slow because it makes me sleep and feel like a turtle.

What does that double line mean this is crazy,i drove truck all through ontario and quebec never let your guard down and respect the road or die.

I've had to take a ditch at 65mph because of "professional" drivers,if i have to be behind a slow ass trucker and deal with it like a mature person so should they...Also..Wtf are you listening to?

[digitallyremixed]

more drivers need to use their cruise controls. It will reduce traffic jam alot. I hate those truck drivers who speed just to get in front of you and slow down while I am going steady at 100km in the traveling lane on 401

[bigcatxpress]

Whats your point...if everyone else is goin faster than you, you are in the way.Professional doesn't mean you have to go speed limit and speeding doesn't always mean reckless.

ah the morons my grandpa pulls out of ditches .. Yates toin Scriber O.T. right down from thunder bay

@jfitzrally Meh. 90km/h (~55mph) with what appears to be a one-handed camera... Perhaps a distraction but hardly a major risk.

@jfitzrally I can make my lunch at 65 mph with my cruise on, drink my coffee and smoke my butt simultaneously.

I don't just play a trucker on TV...Im one in real life! It's whats known as being a pro. Don't judge, until you've done it yourself. I've been doing this for 20 years. Im guessing that RT has been down the road enough to learn you get there when you get there. Speeding only makes it a longer trip (after the man catches you)! No offense buddy.
