Reply to comment by Boondala in U.S. driver charged with stunt driving 'didn't realize' Canadian speed limits aren't posted miles by agaric

In some cars, you can switch it from Km/h to MPH and back. I had a car that did that, completely forgot I had it set to Km/h and was wondering why I was getting passed by people here in the states...

Yeah, fun times, but it CAN happen! LOL

I did the opposite. My car was set to MPH and not KPH, so while the speed limit was 70 kph (around 40 mph), I was gearing up to go up to 70 mph. I only noticed because there was one of those signs that tell you your speed, and when I went by it just said SLOW DOWN.

Ah yes! The fun signs that basically yell at you to slow down. LOL

We have a few of those here in the school zones (which I do appreciate!) but damn, 1 mph over the limit and its trying to slap you. LOL
