I personally don't drive slow by any means, but I know that I don't drive 40 over the limit because my pockets aren't deep enough if/when I get caught. *knock on wood* never received a ticket in the 11 years I've been driving.

If the road design and conditions are conducive to driving at 90km/hr then perhaps the speed limit needs to be reviewed.
I'm not familiar with the OP's ticket location, but it sounds like if the road design encourages people to drive at 90km/hr then the limit at 50km/hr seems too low.
Heading North on the Malahat is another big one. It's posted at 80km/hr as it widens out to a long stretch of 4 lanes. 120km/hr is safe there and most drivers are routinely travel at 110-120, yet the provincial government doesn't believe anyone can handle that speed.
Contrary to what some members here believe, you don't have to be flying wildly out of control like a WWE wrestler on PCP to be charged as an aggressive, excessive speeder who needs to be removed from the road.
