Raise Ontario Highway Speed Limits to 130


Raise Ontario Highway Speed Limits to 130
The Issue
Other countries manage higher speeds. Why can't Canada? Ontario has some of the lowest highway speed limits in the world.
Statistics don't actually show an increase in deaths due to speed, the media portrays it to be that way. These statistics are simply not true. Fatalities in car accidents are caused by high speeds less than 7% of the time.
Not everyone will drive at the higher speed limits as they don't feel comfortable doing so. However, there are many who are comfortable driving at high speeds. Why can't they do this without being penalized? This needs to change.
Speed limits need to change! Show your support for this change in speed limits and stop the fear surrounding penalization for high speed driving!
