Tip-Watch what you post online-Speed

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/arti...s-licence?bn=1

Not only was this kid a moron. Double that for doing it in a 40km zone on a residential street.
Then bragging about it online.

And his parent are morons for buying him this car and knowing how powerful it is.

I will leave this kind of driving for the track.

In Ontario, over 50km the speed limit you are considered racing and your license is gone for 30 days and car impounded for 10 days. And a $2000 to $10,000 fine. Not to mention your insurance rates.

I am very carefull as it so easy to get speed creep in this car and not even feel it.

Two things.
  1. Road racing is dumb
  2. Boasts on the Internet do not constitute proof of a crime. The kid should have plead 'not guilty' and said he made up the stories to impress people.

Minor, but important correction:
  1. Street racing is dumb
  2. Boasts on the Internet do not constitute proof of a crime. The kid should have plead 'not guilty' and said he made up the stories to impress people.

haha what an idiot.
He got what he deserved...whether or not he 'coulda gotten out of it'

Wonder if there is more to the story, like were the cops watching him and caught him doing something in the act, or video.

Another reckless driver off the streets, good riddance.


How can he plead NOT guilty, when there was a witness that saw him speed on that exact street and all this piling evidence against him that hes that type of drive.

Glad they were able to nail him, hopefully lesson learned.

Could very well be part of a plea deal too. Either way, sounds like it worked out well.

What a moron. If he posted up a video online, it would have been even better - to show just how dumb he can be.

That idiot will probably be doing the same thing in a few months. A 500hp car to a 19 year old? Parents scare me these days.

Lucky kid. You do that here, you are guaranteed somewhere between 15 and 60 gunshots through the windshield. Has happened twice in the last year.

Yeah defiantly ... The most powerful car I have had was my first one which was an old cop car 91 Crown Vic with a 351W ... Luckily I was mature enough not to go racing around in it and acting like a complete moreon

LMAO what irony that would be if the person shooting the car that was speeding got run over by a dead driver. Heh... two morons with one bullet.. priceless in any currency!

But seriously, if they shot people for speeding in your neck of the woods, what do they do to real criminals?

Got'cha - If I were a cop, I think I'd wait for the car to pass me then open up his skull from the backside, still pretty silly though, dead drivers usually can't steer or brake a car and relying on other people's property (predestrians posing as speed bumps included) seems rather reckless.
