What I am saying is that there is a REASON for the speed limit to be what it is. If it was 120km/h, people would be going 125km/h.....you have to draw the line somewhere for the "environment" the road is in.

Hey, show me where I've said we should stick to the speed limit like glue? I am just "discussing" why speed limits are in place. Again, you are not reading what I am saying....which by now..doesn't really surprise me.
Your first post was timing the Malahat down to the minute. You were pretty adament that people shouldn't speed, and backed it up with travel time differences to prove your point.
