My first two years of high school , my band did MSBA contests which are classified by band size . We got a new director my junior year and switched to ISSMA which is organized by school size . Our band was tiny in relation to our school size still is , even more so now and compared to the other schools in our class . We never had a chance . Since the switch , my school has only made it out of regionals once . I feel your pain . <| sep |> Having driven on the 401 from Montreal to Toronto many times , For work and for personal reasons . I can ' t tell you 100 % certainty that when the 401 gets to the GTA the speeds in the left lane are tremendously higher than the rural 401 . I ' ve done the Entire 401 from Detroit to Montreal and going 130 kmh with cruise control past OPP and have never been stopped . One time I got caught I was talking about something with my girlfriend and totally forgot what speed I was going on a completely empty highway . Got clocked at 149 by OPP near Cornwall and he let me off with a ticket for 110 . And I was 22 at the time . I ' m not saying that it ' s Open season on the Highways because it certainly isn ' t in my case I was pulled over before his lights were even on . truth is that some drivers are just better than others . And the OPP officers have a pretty good way of judging that based on a number of different factors . Getting a speeding ticket is easily avoidable . As long as you don ' t drive in a manner that makes someone call the cops , maintain STRICT lane discipline and just open your eyes and keep on the lookout for OPP yes they hide . But just don ' t come over a blind hill doing more than ~ 120 and you should be fine . All this requires you to actually pay attention to the road . Which sadly not many people do . There is totally an argument that driving over the speed limit can actually be safer . Most people sitting at 100 or even 110 for long periods of time can get bored and more likely to get a distracted . EDIT Oh yea . And USE WAZE . 34 of the time a Cop is marked as well as any hazard ' s and traffic conditions .
