Audi Vs. Honda... Honda looses

[Efraim Gavrilovich]

Well, this is not true, you could get ticket in Canada for driving at the
speed limit if everybody is driving faster. There was a case when two guys
decided to protest the ridiculous speed limit of 100Kph (60Mph). The venue
they chose was one of the busiest stretches of Hwy 401, between Kingston and
Toronto . Mind you, on this Hwy everybody is driving at least 120Kph (75Mph)
and police is only charging those who exceed this speed. At 75Mph and below
you are OK. Anyway, these two characters were driving their cars side by
side on two lane highway causing other cars to slow down and thus creating
10 miles long bottleneck. Police pulled them over and charged them with
guess what? That's right, impeding the traffic. Real life story.

Yep - that's what it is - however, what was the speed limit? I think you can
only be cited if you are under the limit, or if there is a minimum posted
speed and you are under that.

decelerating in my 1988 5000 and someone in what appeared to be a blue honda
decided to test the laws of pyhsics and discover that Newton's second law
still works. The honda went under my 5000, crushing the spare tire carrier
and destroying my rear muffler. The bumper is puched down a little and the
panel which holds the chrome piece above hte bumper is pushed up. The
honda's A/C and radiator were pushed into the engine and the hood was
crumpled to the windshield.
