Yeah driving around Toronto and Hamilton can be a blast sometimes! No,
you're right, photo radar really didn't make a difference at all! People
seemed willing to take the risk of getting their picture taken and paying a
fine. I mean whats a little cash if you get caught? There were no points
involved, so who cares?

I live in Sarnia Ontario, right on the border with Michigan, about 60 miles
north of Detroit. I am looking forward to making it to some of the DML
events in S. Ont. as well as Mich. I'm really looking forward to my truck,
and it is going to be a looong 4-6 weeks!

Actually, most Ontarions threw out the government who had implemented it
... but not for that reason. FWIW, it did drop the average speed of
the commuters on the QEW between Hamilton and Toronto and, along with it,
the stress level. Now, we seem to be back to a Texas shootout (oh, oh ...
can't wait for the comments).

Welcome aboard, Chris. Yeh, you'll really enjoy the truck! Where abouts
in S. Ont. are you? Maybe you can make some of the S. Ont. DML events
come next year.
