You don't have to be racing someone it applies for fast driving as well. This is what I was told any Ontario guys out there to set the record straight?

True. The law was passed last fall & has been very successful (from an enforcement standpoint). 50 km/hr over the limit & you walk home. This is a provincial law, not a federal one so it is only applicable in Ontario. A case was just turfed by the courts so a legal challenge is in the wind. For real street racing, a car can be seized & crushed if there is a conviction. I haven't heard of this been applied however.
My local MPP just sent around his newsletter where he is proposing a 150 kh/hr governor on all new cars. He admitted that it won't be popular & he won't have a hope. He also won't get my vote next time.
