Public highways are paid for by the taxes collected from ALL citizens, that means we shared the previlige of using the road with all the other drivers on the road, we don't get to unilaterally decide by ourselves how much risk we take or how fast we can drive, no matter how confident and skillful we may THINK we are.
I certainly don't disagree almost all drivers take a bit of indulgence of the speed limit and in general that is pretty harmless, but just because we all do it driving 110 to 120 KPH or even a bit higher doesn't mean common sense can go out of the window, especially when the road is shared with other drivers who may not, and should not be expected to deal with another vehicle coming up from behind at excessive speed, such as 285 KPH indicated in an earlier post.
Sorry, that kind of speed even on an empty PUBLIC highway is purely irresponsible, take it to the race track on a track day if you want to really stretch the legs of your powerful sports car, and where everyone knows the real risks involved and are in a level playing field, and where emergency services are on stand-by to deal with the mishap that can sometimes happen.
All that said I know I'm not going to convince the idiots that are already driving at unreasonably fast speed on public roads, so let there (very) soon be a black/white OPP cars showing up on their rearview mirror with all the bright red lights flashing, and accompanied by a hefty fine and many demerit points!
