Quebec Conservatives would raise speed limit to 120 km/h on some highways

Quebec Conservative Party Leader Eric Duhaime wants to see the speed limit raised on some of the province’s highways.
On Saturday, Duhaime promised to raise the speed limit to 120 km/h if his party wins on Oct. 3.
He says most people exceed the current 100 km/h limit.
Even though driving faster increases a vehicle’s gas mileage – and accompanying cost at the pump – the Conservative leader says people should be able to choose.
“Time is money too,” Duhaime said. “I think there are people who will appreciate gaining that five to 10 minutes, or 20 minutes, to go to Montreal with an extra 10-15 km per hour.”
Duhaime was speaking in Levis Saturday, one day after holding the largest gathering of supporters of any political party so far as a few thousand supporters filled the entrance hall of the Videotron Centre in Quebec City.
