Additionally, any driver traveling more than 100 mph on city streets can expect a $500 ticket from the cameras.

What sort of lunatic is going that fast on dense city roads, and why is it not escalating straight to an arrest warrant and a revocation of their driver's license?

People race through GG park at night. They used to race on great highway too, but I guess they don't anymore since it's closed to car traffic now. Of course that never stopped biker gangs so I guess they still do crazy stunt shit.

It might be the night time street races that can hit 100 between lights when commuter traffic is next to none.

In Toronto you got most people driving 20 above the posted limit like it's nothing mostly during the day, but come night when the roadways are clear and empty some are going 30 over.

Lol right. I haven't been to the part of San Francisco where 100 mph driving wouldn't be insane. Maybe on some kind of super street bike but even then...

I thought the cab I was in that was hitting 60 mph on those hills was insane, 100 seems terminal.

It was like a roller coaster with no tracks! So yes, absolutely. I just grabbed my husband’s hand for moral support and hoped the driver was driving like this because he knew what he was doing, haha.
