Could have gone bad here as well if I had the wrong cop. I think I took him by surprise when I rolled down my window and he saw me though so that probably helped.

I'd buy a lottery ticket if I were you. Ride that good luck streak hard.

A British colleague of mine was in the middle of telling a joke when the CEO pops out from behind the corner.
The brit continues like this "...so we scrambled the database and twirled the JavaScript lengthwise, just like you said, and after the XML had recompiled into solid state the CSS was all chartreuse. The client is happy and we're already moving on to the next pipeline."
The CEO nods solemnly at this and says "Keep up the good work, boys".

He could say you were being reckless but would have to prove it.

I know but even then I was so far above that he could have nailed me.

i. driving a motor vehicle at a rate of speed that is a marked departure from the lawful rate of speed,
ii. outdistancing or attempting to outdistance one or more other motor vehicles while driving at a rate of speed that is a marked departure from the lawful rate of speed, or

(2) In this section,
“marked departure from the lawful rate of speed” means a rate of speed that may limit the ability of a driver of a motor vehicle to prudently adjust to changing circumstances on the highway. O. Reg. 455/07, s. 2 (2).

2. Driving a motor vehicle in a manner that indicates an intention to cause some or all of its tires to lose traction with the surface of the highway while turning.
3. Driving a motor vehicle in a manner that indicates an intention to spin it or cause it to circle, without maintaining control over it.
4. Driving two or more motor vehicles side by side or in proximity to each other, where one of the motor vehicles occupies a lane of traffic or other portion of the highway intended for use by oncoming traffic for a period of time that is longer than is reasonably required to pass another motor vehicle.
5. Driving a motor vehicle with a person in the trunk of the motor vehicle.

i. driving a motor vehicle in a manner that indicates an intention to prevent another vehicle from passing,
ii. stopping or slowing down a motor vehicle in a manner that indicates the driver’s sole intention in stopping or slowing down is to interfere with the movement of another vehicle by cutting off its passage on the highway or to cause another vehicle to stop or slow down in circumstances where the other vehicle would not ordinarily do so,
iii. driving a motor vehicle in a manner that indicates an intention to drive, without justification, as close as possible to another vehicle, pedestrian or fixed object on or near the highway, or
iv. making a left turn where,
(A) the driver is stopped at an intersection controlled by a traffic control signal system in response to a circular red indication;
(B) at least one vehicle facing the opposite direction is similarly stopped in response to a circular red indication; and
(C) the driver executes the left turn immediately before or after the system shows only a circular green indication in both directions and in a manner that indicates an intention to complete or attempt to complete the left turn before the vehicle facing the opposite direction is able to proceed straight through the intersection in response to the circular green indication facing that vehicle. O. Reg. 455/07, s. 3.

The following, IMHO, is the absolute pinnacle of proprietary ampicilliary obfuscation. Enjoy..

Does this mean doing donuts is legal, as long as you're not on a highway and you maintain control?

Unfortunately the definition of "highway" for the purpose of the act means any and all public roads so unless you are in a private parking lot you are still screwed.
I like the wording where they say "intention" to do something. So even if you didn't do it if they think you were planning it they can still grab you. Be pretty hard to prove what you "intended" to do but still a pain.

Right. So it's pretty much the same as here, then.

If the wrong cop in the wrong mood sees you at the wrong moment, your license is suspended for the 6 months it takes to save enough money to pay the fine.

I have this whole speech prepared for the day I have to go to court for practising figure-8's in an empty, icy parking lot. It will probably cost me a month or two extra, but it'll be worth it.
It starts with "Many traffic accidents could have been avoided if drivers were not so surprised over how their vehicles react when they suddenly have to brake hard or turn the steering wheel fast." The rest is obvious.
