I would be willing to bet they were jaywalking in which they lose all sympathy from me.

There are lots of ghetto *** mofos out there.
Busa riders + walmarts = epitome of ghettoness (Gtam company excluded of course)
They stretch out the swingarms and wear back protectors only(see this a lot more in the states)
You don't live in Toronto, do you?still, in toronto its hard to speed, (stop and go traffic, traffic jams, lots of car, not a lot of room, and tons of intersections + crazy cab drivers, street car tracks etc etc)
If this guy was going so fast he couldn't come to a safe emergency stop he was probably doing something stupid
You don't live in Toronto, do you?

EDIT: Highway ramps don't count because that's a no brainer.

I’ve definitely had people run in front of me so suddenly I had trouble stopping in time and I was barely above the limit. People in cities will basically dive in front of moving vehicles, especially in downtown Toronto.
Depends what you consider "speeding".
Lakeshore would probably be the most open multi-lane road within the city that people fly through.
Spadina is a hell-hole when it comes to traffic, however, there are times where there are gaps in traffic where people easily hit 80km/h in 40 zones regularly in those gaps. Having to drive/ride the stretch of Spadina from King St to Lakeshore daily, there are days where it could take me 3-4 mins (rare) to make that 2 km stretch, most days averages 15 mins, but is not uncommon to hit 25+ mins. I travel at around the same time daily.
Then, of course, there's the Gardiner where there's always a major crash almost every year from "Street Racing", but the average speed people travel is 100km/h-120km/h which I would consider "safe" as long as people can hold their lanes in the curves (which many dont)...
Within the city, it's pretty stupid to speed through intersections where people will more often than not, turn in front of you EXPECTING you to brake for them to complete their turn.
Edit: FWIW, I now realized that didn't read your post correctly.
I never said it was safe to speed. If you follow what the media thinks they seem to think even going the speed limit is too dangerous. But it’s extremely easy to do so even in rush hour. When the speed limits are at 30 and 40 it’s not hard. I actually feel it’s not even all that dangerous in most areas but that’s an unpopular opinion these days.
