      She did a lot of speeding. And lost her license for 6 months.

      As a comparison my missus has been driving since Emma was in the first movie and has one speeding fine and no points on the license because it was by such a small amount.

        this is so foreign to me. 38mph in a 30, and 3 points and license lost (due to a previous 9 point total)

        in Canada, going 63 in a 50 km/h zone is the expectation. you will never get a ticket for that, let alone pulled over, other than automated speed cameras (which are clearly warned about in advance and identifiable)

        I wish we stuck to the rules like that. don’t make it a 50 if you’re not going to enforce it - it’s a false sense of safety

            For sure, I-88 in upstate New York is the road that always gets me. So straight and wide, great visibility,no traffic, very little population, towns are few and far between, built for speed. It’s painful to hold to the limit, painful to hold to my standard +8. Even worse, it was 55mph for the longest time.

            And I’m sure highways in the Midwest are much worse
