Do you really think this van can go 80mph?" > >I got a warning instead of a ticket that way in a '78 Westfalia. :) That reminds me of what happened last year to my mother. We were all in the vanagon going into our nice city of Richmond Hill which has a 35mph limit. The highway going in has a 55, 50, three 45 and 35 into town. My mother gets stopped doing 60 in the 35. The officer let us go because he said that he used to own a bus (didn't say what) and that we could not have been going that fast! As for being slow that's another story. After high school I got two warnings for doing 35 in a 25 and a 50 in a 45 when I had the 72 bus. I guess you can get away with it if you are doing over 60 because nobody believes that you can go that fast.
