Maximum speed....110.  blink.gif

I think I'll pass.  You'd have to keep it floored on the Deerfoot, and even then probably end up some semi's lunch.  tongue.gif

Or be rear ended by someone doing 110 on the Deerfoot instead of the posted 100 biggrin.gif Would never take it on the QE2 where 110 seems to mean 120+ .

Just drove back from Kingston on the 401...Set cruise at 110. Was passed quite a few times but saw no problems driving 110 in a 100 zone....and that is even with all the Holiday traffic.

Perhaps the new Ontario law regarding dangerous drivers is having everyone out here have second thoughts about being so "lead-footed". wink.gif

Brothers charged after deadly car crash in Ontario

Two brothers in their 20s have been charged with criminal negligence causing death after a seven-vehicle crash that killed two women in Brampton, northwest of Toronto.

Police say two men were each driving a car south on Highway 50, toward Mayfield Road, north of Major MacKenzie Drive before the crash.

A number of vehicles were heavily damaged in the chain-reaction crash.

(CBC) They say it appears one of the cars, an Audi, slammed into a Pontiac Grand Am carrying 49-year-old Cynthia Dougherty of Palgrave, Ont., and 44-year-old Maria Dalsass of Beeton, Ont.

Witnesses told police they saw two vehicles speeding before one of them went out of control just after noon.

The collision set off a chain reaction, said Const. Adam Minnion of Peel Regional Police.

The Grand Am, also travelling south at the time of the accident, was left smashed on all sides, police said. Both women were pronounced dead at the scene.

Drivers and passengers of the other cars were treated for minor injuries on the scene. The two men who were charged were not injured.

Minnion said it was "quite astonishing" that more people were not hurt, considering the seriousness of the crash.

Steven Machado, 22, and his brother Brian, 27, both of Mississauga, were taken into custody. A bail hearing was scheduled Sunday.

Police seized two vehicles, a badly damaged Audi and a BMW, under Ontario's new street racing laws, applied to drivers travelling more than 50 km/h over the speed limit.
