Ace Driving School

On most main urban streets, you are expected to maintain the speed limit of 50 km in order to keep the traffic flowing and maintain a safe driving speed. Although most side streets have the same speed limit of 50 km, the expectation of maintaining that speed is not the same. A great deal of discretion is given to the motorist in these areas as safety conditions vary from one side street to another. Parked cars, narrow streets, vision blocks and neighborhood kids often make it all too dangerous to drive at 50 km/h. Keep this in mind: if you are in an accident and were driving 45 km/ hour, the judge could very well determine that speed was a factor due to your poor speed choice given the hazards that were present at the time.
