Just a short time ago, the OPP set up a radar trap on the 400 going up
towards Barrie.  They were pulling over everyone they could catch doing
over 110 km/h.  This is in my experience not a common practice 
in Ontario, but the OPP have vowed to come down hard on speeders this 
summer.  Just be glad you don't live in Quebec, where this has been a
regular practice (especially on long weekends) for some time now.
