You didn't actually stick to the speed limit, did you? If you did I'm surprised you didn't get run over from behind!
Heh! I did push it a little bit, but I didn't want to be stopped for speeding. Too many legal issues and hassles involved with being a foreigner and receiving a traffic ticket...so I kept it close to the limit.
I don't remember being passed by a lot of vehicles, but that was along time ago and I may have forgotten. (I have a good memory...it's just short!) .
Call the Canadian custom guys 'sir', be polite and don't hesitate with your answers to the questions they'll ask. They can be 'hard nosed' at times...b.
In addition to a current US Passport, you will also need a Canada Non-resident Inter-Province Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance Card (just call your insurance company and they'll send you one).
I live on the border and travel regularly into Canada and this document has never been required to enter the country. We were just there last summer, entered on 90/290 then 62 to Niagra Falls, NY. Great view while still on the bridge.
About 5 years ago I rode Canada from Detroit through Niagara and back into the US at Buffalo...and rode it back again. As everyone said in here, Passport, non-resident insurance card, and don't be a criminal...or have a weapon...or booze if I recall correctly.
It was my first time in Canada, and when I crossed the border I was immediately impressed. Gas was $1.25 and the highway speed limit was 100! Then I realized gas was $1.25 a liter (about $5.00 per gallon US at the time,) and 100 KPH is 62 MPH. It was like riding in a 200 mile long school zone.
Otherwise it was a great ride. .
And BEER was about $30 a case, no bargain vacation
