Most importantly, if you are north of the border and choose to drive well into 3 figures you should be aware that the risk is not merely a short ban or haul of points, but a minimum of 12 months off the road, an extended retest and 5 years of declaring a Dangerous Driving conviction to your insurer.
Not to mention up to 5 years in jail!
