our gov think of another way of making money again, this time benefit the towing and storage company.

New Penalties (as of September 20, 2010)

If you are caught excessively speeding, you will automatically have your car impounded for seven days for a first offence, 30-days for a second offence, and 60 days for any subsequent offences within two years. You’ll also pay to get your car out. Towing and seven days of storage will cost you at least $210, a 30 day impoundment will cost around $700, while a 60-day impoundment will cost over $1200.

I think this penalties focusing on people who do street racing in the cities not highway.

For "excessive speeding" like that (over 40km/h), I consider the penalty is mild already.

Not bad idea ..  

However, say on 110km/hr area, doing 150km/hr isn't that much faster .. depends what kind of cars ..

It would be making more sense, for truck/some SUV etc .. with same 110km/hr limit, and 120 or 130 for other newer cars..  well.. but it is not going to happen!

    If you go over 40km/h over the legal limit then it's considered as excessive speeding. (e.g. driving >100km on a 60km road)

I got confused, so how to determine excessive speeding?
If I am on the road which speed limit is 60KM/HR and I'm driving 70-80, does that count as excessive speeding?

myversa

greater than 40 km/h over the speed limit?  That's very fast.  I think they are doing the right thing, making money from those people instead of people who abide the law.
