I sent this note to the Hon. Jim Bradley, Minister of Transportation for Ontario.

Although I disagree with the need to have speed limiters placed on the most responsible drivers on the roads, ie. heavy trucks, I do agree that any vehicle in which a teenager is allowed to drive should be limited.  To make enforcement simple, allow officers to scan any vehicle that has been pulled over for speeding and is driven by a teenager.  If it doesn’t show governed, then issue a stiff fine to the vehicle owner.  I am getting tired of hearing about all those caught doing 200kmh and being charged and impounded.  That doesn’t really seem to solve the problem, although it makes a good headline.
