Nope...I was only pointing out the ACTUAL time you would save by speeding (which is very ....VERY...little)...and then asking....is the little bit of time you save worth a speeding violation or accident! I posted the travel times to show how LITTLE time speeding over the "hat" gains you! If you also notice, I increased the speed by 20km/h increments....significant speed violations, not the "grey" area of 5-7 km/h which MANY of us drive. I can't count the times a vehicle passed me on the "hat", in a hurry...and I pull in behind him at the first set of lights passed Goldstream Park, heading into Victoria. Read that post again....now that I've explained it....and you will see that is what I meant.

My point was/is ..... what you gain in time "ain't" worth the grieve you could get or the pain you might receive or dish out.
