On a separate note, I think one of the biggest issues affecting the safety of Canadian highways is the lack of understanding to stay in the right lane.
Lots of talk here about the autobahn, but for anyone who has driven through Europe, the big difference - and the reason that higher speed limits are successful - is that EVERYONE follows the stay-to-the-right-rule.
As long as that happens, it really doesn't matter what speed people are driving because they are not getting in each other's way.
Driving in Europe is an absolute DELIGHT.
