Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll just stay off the Malahat if it is such a death trap that requires such aggressive enforcement.

It's easy pickings. The speed limit on most sections of the Malahat are too low. Most attentive drivers who are driving according to conditions will do 100km/hr in some of those 80 zones. I actually find it more mentally taxing to be concentrating primarily on my speed than to concentrate on what is going on around me.

I have yet to see a tailgater get nicked at a speed trap. I was almost rear-ended today as I slowed down in the 90-80-60 transition zone heading to the airport this morning.
