LOL, to everyone who is concerned over my speed....
1. The speed limit on the divided highway I was on is 110 km/h, most people do 120 - 125.
2. U-Haul says 55 mph (IMO) as a legal disclaimer so they can snake their way out of any accident as soon as someone does the speed limit of 100 Km/h (62 mph) anywhere in Canada on 2 lane highways; and 110 Km/h (70 mph) or more on divided highways. What makes a U-Haul trailer any different than any other trailer that theirs are magically limited to 55 mph? 55 mph on a roadway with a speed limit of 70 mph and an average speed of traffic of 75-78 mph is not going to happen when I'm driving. It's a 1000# trailer behind a full sized truck! Gimmie a break! :)
