Looked like some fun there, love the snow too bad we don't really get it here in CA.
As far as speeding tickets go... I got my first on 11-2 at 9:30 at night. Cop claims 60 in a 40 in my tacoma. A nice $342 down the drain plus traffic school haha. Good thing there weren't any cops around for me doing 115 in my blazer one day.... that was definitely sketchy with the whole giant truck shaking and doing weird things at that rate of speed... never again..

before anyone tries to jump all over my last statement, let me just tell you that you can be charged under the Stunt Driving law by simply following to close (funny, not too long ago it was simply called "tailgating") or making an abrupt lane change.

REALLY?!?! in Ontario, we'll only lose our licence if we're caught going 50KPH over the limit, or charged under that new (stupid) "Stunt Driving" law.

It's 7 days regardless of the offense down here. I was going 20km over the limit when I got my ticket, and the fine was $275 and 7 days without a license (even though I still drove..but shhh lol). The lady at the DMV told me it's an automatic 7 day suspension regardless of the speed.
What if you drive a truck? You get pulled over and they take your DL? I could see some legal action on that one.

You take the bus or find other modes of transport.
There is no legal action you could take. It's the law. If you get pulled over driving a work vehicle (truck) then chances are you lose your license as well as your job since a lot of employers won't employ drivers without a clean abstract. Again, you're breaking the law by speeding, so what legal action would you take?
