Anyone that's traveled outside the United States has likely experienced that weird mental calculation where you think, "Who would drive 80 miles per hour on a road like this?"

When you realize that Canadians measure things wrong and that the posted limit is 80 kilometers per hour, it makes more sense.

Of course there are some that never do quite figure it out.

And then you get announcements like this one from Canada:

A New Yorker crossed the border and ended up driving 62 km/h over the speed limit. Top speed was 142 km/h, which roughly translates to 90 mph. The posted limit was 80 km/h.

His defense was that he thought the signs were posted in miles per hour, and that he was only 10 miles per hour over the limit, which would have been a ticket, but would not have resulted in having his car impounded for 14 days, his license suspended for 30 days, and a charge of "stunt" driving.

Given New York's recent downgrade in school standards for math, Canada‘s roads should be full of stunt drivers real soon.
