Our max here is 70 now its more the distance than speed
Sam is in canada and can see how far some have to travel just to get to work daily
For me I live about 12 mile from town and it does make travel difficult at times lol

yeah, its stupid the distance people travel. I know people seem to think of a 4 hour drive as short.

We had friends emigrate to Canada in the 70s, and they thought nothing of driving three hours to go out for dinner, then make the return journey. They must make Canadians tough. ;)
