"....the driver is now facing stunt driving charges" - nice, very nice

 

250? He was using way to much nitrous and should have deployed his parachute.

 

the top secret supra got pulled over doing like 200+mph in scotland i think it was

 

wow, so you only get 6 demirit points for going 250km/h.

 

But the "stunt" title stays on your driving record indefintiely (I believe) and likely quadruples your insurance!

 

250 is a new record, and the 26 y.o. apologized to the officer:

Likely riding the governor, luckily mine comes in at 255... HA!

 

I have been flashed by the cops on that highway going faster than that: however, I wasn`t about to stop. lol

 

correct me if i'm wrong but i heard that if you are traveling over 200kmh the cops wont give chase here in canada, for safety reasons. So if you don't stop, find an exit, and park your car without cops noticing it, you are safe :P.
alot of ifs

 

Because its real smart doing 250 km/h when its -15 *C below... and on winter tires to boot...

Indeed. In the words of Red Green "If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a great Christmas." Not really sure what that has to do with the situation, but I thought it was funny.

 

Sorry, we're not in Japan lol

I have no words for that pamphelt aside from 'uhhh'/

Seriously, does NO ONE ON THE ******* PLANET realise that most of the "street racing" going on is with your bone stock G35 (as pointed out above) or in mommy and daddy's 04 dodge caravan with your thugged out little retarded fanboy buddy's???

*breathing in deeply*

 

Too much "too fast too furious"

thewird

 

actualy in Montreal it is like that, i have read on some forume the actual confirmation of this, tried to find it now, but couldn't. now it's not to say that they will not try to stop you, just that they wont give chase after you like in usa as it indengers both the police officer, and the public.

 

If they did, their heads would explode in a shower of logic.

 

That applies to real life only.

DON'T forget that all of the facts about streetracing comes from movies, why would they bother to actualy research the topic if they can just watch 2 or 3 movies and be over with it

 

wow hes facing sevral thousand dollars in fines? BRUTAL!

 

It's pretty much always up to the police whether to pursue or not in a given situation. Speed of the target, traffic conditions, how reckless the driver is apart from the speed (weaving, running lights, etc.), whether the officer feels likely to be in an accident while pursuing, whether other units or a chopper can be directed to intercept - all part of the mix. So I don't think there's a hard and fast rule for most forces as to a particular speed they'll automatically break off at.

 

Thats hilarious, racing pedals and short shifters indicate your child may be racing. Wow.

 

Why do we put up with this....

 

This is a perfect example of how the police media campaigns are absurd and are akin to using 'Reefer Madness' as part of an anti-drug campaign. Demonizing people for their cars is the same as profiling based on the way one dresses.

The 50km/h over the limit charge has always been a serious one. I don't have a huge problem with throwing the book at people caught doing it. Same thing with people who are actually racing each other in the street. For 50km/h over it's a little heavy handed, but that's about it. As we all know the problem is that the law applies to a broader spectrum of difficult to prove/disprove offenses.

 

The engine makes good power when it's cold outside. Nice dense cold air... mmmMMmmm power...

 

Reminds me of that garbage truck a couple years back they caught street racing. I always wondered if the police exaggerate using that intercept method. I would have demanded to see the speed gun myself. I know in alberta, they have to show it to you.

 

They actually pulled over a garbage truck for street racing? WOW! I didn't know about that. That really goes to show how retarted the street racing law is. That gives me a good idea though. Garbage truck races at Varney Motor Speedway. Thats a whole other topic all together though.

 

"a shifter, son where did you get this?, who taught you how to do this stuff?!"

"I learned to short shift by watching you dad!"
