About the same.

I rarely travel under the speed limit on major thoroughfares in the city (where I drive only occasionally), blowing down MacLeod in the south end of the city, as an example, at 100 kmh or even 110 khm if its fairly clear and I'll do about 110-120 km on local secondary highways (in blizzards too) and about 130 km on four lane highways . . . . but I do obey school zone speed limits and I'll typically travel under the posted limit in residential areas. Basically, if I can see a long ways in front of me, I'll wind it up.

I'll get a photo radar ticket every few years and pulled over about once every five years.

Crazy thing is, even though I sound like a lead foot, my two Golden's and I have a favourite thing to do, going for Saturday/Sunday drives, windows rolled down, heads out the windows, winter or summer, at about 50 kmh down country roads, pulling over when someone comes up behind us . . . . . meandering for an hour or so, checking out the scenery, stopping for pictures once in a while.

The things we see . . . .
