The Ottawa Police Service is reminding drivers that telling an officer “I thought I was doing 150” will not overturn a stunt driving charge on Highway 417.
The police Road Safety and District Traffic Unit said an officer observed a driver going 164 km/h on Highway 417 at Carp Road on Monday.
Even I dont drive that fast on long ass highways. I do drive over 100 (everyone does) but never that high. 165km would scare me.

Having driven on the Autobahn and like roads in Europe, it is scary. At first.
Provided you’re in a car that can handle that speed (e.g. Not an SUV or pickup, but something with tight steering and proper brakes), you get used to it over a bit of time. Start at 130 and bump it up sad you get comfortable.
There are lots of rules. No smoking, driving coffee or anything that takes your hands off the wheel or your eyes of the road. Stay out of the fast Lane unless passing. You need a copilot to adjust the AC and radio if you have it on.
It wouldn’t work at all in North America with our vehicles and drivers.
