when is this cruize taking place? I think we should do it at 105-110k's
i have probably 3 or 4 buddies that would be more than willing to come along.
Aaron It would have to be in good weather when people are naturally fast. And, the more it was talked about, we thought one car would hang back about 3-5 km. Lookout. If it's after the Guelph line, it's almost impossible to find an exit - OR on ramp. Which means the cops have to be coming from behind you. And if they're coming, the lookout says "Boo", and then all 5 cars pull into a line middle lane. Everyone will go rushing past, and you can just spread out and disappear. By the time the cop appears... how's he going to pick 5 random cars out of a pack? Edit: P.S - Although, with every move I make, the police seem to have laws against it, which the board members let me know of. Lol.

If you make such a small disruption that the cops can't identify you, will the disruption even be noticed enough to help your cause? You will probably just anger the local traffic, and in a worst case even trigger some accident behind you!

You will probably just anger the local traffic, and in a worst case even trigger some accident behind you! Indeed. The trick is to maximize nuisance, but minimize repercussions. A little too much towards minimize, you do nothing. A little too far towards maximize, and you end up with a bunch of pulled over cars. The best run would be Cambridge to Mississauga. You need to past the 6 before anyone really can do anything (since it's a major point of entry for police). And if we drive Camb Timmies to Miss, then turn around, come half way back and hit a Timmies, I'll pay at both ends. It's good for a laugh. P.S. - It would be important to note that I wouldn't cause any accidents. At the end of the day, each driver is completely responsible for their own behaviour. If they do something idiotic and cause an accident, I feel no remorse for some douche getting road rage.

I'm down for this. We need to get other car clubs in on the action too. I can imagine that the cops will pull over the front runners in fairly short order. Can you imagine the look on the police faces when they realize there's another set of cars willing to take up the cause immediately after.
The best day to do it too is on the long weekend. Because if no one can speed, then they can't hand out tickets. And if they can't hand out tickets, you are hitting them right in the pocket book.

They can give you a ticket for driving 1kph over the limit, usually reserved for poor conditions or if you're driving like a complete a$$...
Down here, ANY speeding ticket can automatically be a reckless driving charge as well, but that's reserved for the true idiots, and ones that really badmouth the cop...
