How'd you like to have your car crushed for making a long pass on the highway.. A 60 year old man in Ontario got busted for it, he did 130 in an 80 passing a long line of cars..

I admit that on the highway it's a different story. Hell, the QEII has that unsaid rule of "you must be going at least 140 if you're in the left lane" on any given long weekend in the summer.
But inside the city? Are there any roads where going 50 over the limit is ever a good idea? Either you're young and crazy or you're drunk. Either way, your car should be crushed. You're crazy to do it in the daytime because there's traffic on every road. You're crazy to do it at night because you can't see as well.
Maybe I'm thinking about this too much because I can see going 150 on Deerfoot S between 130th and 22x late at night. But I'd like to hope that there is some discretion involved on the officer's end. Maybe in that situation, the guy's car doesn't need to be crushed. But going say, 100 on Elbow Drive? You deserve to have your car crushed. You never know when some spaced-out granny is going to pull out of an alley, or some kid is going to jaywalk.
