Here is someone who's been stopped 6 times for it. Check and see what they're being charged with:

I imagine that on a bad day a street racing charge could be laid.
In the city, I tend to hold to the limit - There's too much chance of clipping a pedestrian or bicyclist. On the highway I tend to stick to the right lane and keep up with the traffic there, unless I'm passing. Have I gone 10 over? Yes. Have I ever been pulled over for going 10 over? Once.
I've been bullied a number of times on the bike. The choice becomes being dead right or swerving to survive. If motorcyclists start a precedent, they'd be fools to think that motorists won't start taking advantage too. I believe Toronto is getting closer and closer to the tipping point. Every year, new issues are appearing more rapidly than the previous one.
If you nick a mirror do you stop and exchange insurance information, or do you take off hoping that the other party is too busy to catch your plate or report the collision?
I don't believe that you can withdrawn anything from my statement. I believe that the laws are there to guide us when we don't know what to do. But not everything should need a law. If you take if with the rest of the context, what I'm getting at is where do draw the line, for right from wrong, and are any people wise enough to be able to set their own limits? I don't believe that there is, not even myself; even though I'm only the second worst driver on the planet (you're all tied for first).
I tend to stop a ways back and creep forward at lights, at the same time pedestrians and bicyclists tend to float through the traffic.
For those of you who filter, how do you avoid these issues? Do you rely on luck? A 5 million+ liability policy or something else? In the case where do hit someone or something, will your insurance cover you?
