I was racing on the highway as I was driving home last night...
 

and that other car got pulled over by cops right in front of me!!! I am sooo lucky. I have enough speeding tickets by now

Damn, is that really you on the avatar?

yah it is :)

Try not racing in future.

Unless you are dumb...

You're racing on the highway in Toronto? Don't they have seriously strict street racing laws there now? You might not want to play around if that's the case.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Quit hitting on my future squeeze :1orglaugh

lol :helpme

Years ago I was driving from Vegas back to Phoenix and decided to take the highway route..... A Porsche came out of no where, speeding, and I kept up with him for a bit. We were in the middle of no where so it was fun. But after a while I slowed down a bit and lost him.....

Turns out he got nailed by the highway patrol.

yeah, now racing is limited to 150km/hr haha unless you want to lose your license and car on the spot.

I was not driving fast, only about 130, but lot's of in and outs

lol

That's so cool. I'm sure if I was in my car with my kids, I'd be impressed.

Just like this couple, I bet they were seriously impressed.

Even better. The highway is your personal race track.

What do you drive?

You realize street racing is illegal and kills and ruins family's right?

keep it on the track.

And you should learn from the speeding tickets before you end up like a lot of other street racers. dead.

You are extremely lucky you were only going 40 over the limit.

50 over in Toronto and you can say good bye to your car and licence.

Street Racing in Toronto is extremely dumb.

Here, let me print it out for you in case you don't click the link.

Charges laid in alleged street racing deaths

CTV.ca News Staff

Two people are facing charges for the alleged street racing death of a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary.

Marco Gasparro, 19, of Richmond Hill, is charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death. The 21-year-old driver of another other car is in critical condition in Sunnybrook Hospital. Charges are pending against him.

Robbie Manchester, 47, and his wife Lisa, 43, were pronounced dead at the scene, just blocks from their home. They were returning home after celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary.

On Saturday evening, two red-coloured Honda vehicles were travelling in Richmond Hill, just north of Toronto when one of the cars struck allegedly struck the Manchester's vehicle.

Police say the two Hondas were travelling 150 km/h in the 80 km/h zone.

The couple leaves behind a seven-year-old daughter, who was not in the car when the accident occurred.

Neighbours say news that her parents have died will leave the young girl "totally devastated."

Street racing incidents have become more common in recent months. Last week Prime Minister Stephen announced plans to crack down on the dangerous practice, saying he will make it a criminal offence.

The new law is expected to be introduced in Parliament this spring.

Street racers who are convicted of dangerous driving face a maximum sentence of years under current laws. The maximum penalty jumps to 10 years if someone is injured, and 14 if someone is killed.

130-100=30

120 being the complete norm, no one will stop you if you go 120.

threads like this never go well for the OP

The funeral for a friend's daughter's boyfriend (and the daughter is still recovering) was yesterday. He was speeding.

While texting? Please tell me you were texting.

I love a woman that can multi-task at high speed.

i wonder why they build cars that go 250 km/h - we should drive around in golf carts, much more secure.

well, as long Raja isn't driving

LOL I don't like texting while driving, makes me forget how i drove all that distance while texting, it can be scary

Come drive in Victoria, Australia... fines start at 3km/hr (that's three kilometres) over the limit, 30km/hr over the limit and you'll lose your licence immediately, texting is also illegal.

Stick to the track if you want to race.

Oh yeah for sure! You need all your concentration playing Mario Andretti on the public highway.

I really can't be too hard on you, I had a car up to 135mph, that's 217.26kph to you.

Oh wait, I fucking can, I was on a goddamn track. Not on the public roads putting other peoples lives in danger with my "IN and Out" racing.

So you're saying you wised up on the texting? Good, I suggest you keep it that way.

People texting while driving have caused a lot of fatal crashes, and it will continue to happen until what mostly amounts to young people getting a clue.

Everyone has had fun speeding at one time or another. I know I did when I was in my 20's, as was reflected by the number of speeding tickets I got. (who among us can buy a fast production sports car with t-roofs and NOT take it out for a "spin" :D )


...but with age hopefully comes wisdom, and you realize that it's better to just get where you're going alive rather than in a hurry.

You should see me put on a full face of make-up in the rear view mirror with one hand and hold my little dog with the other. It's fabulous.

she became a beautiful but no so smart :winkwink:

I'm pretty sure you could get out of a ticket

Race With The Devil On A Spanish Highway

I always flash a boob when I get pulled over,yours are probably bigger than mine and less hairy

you criminal you :winkwink:

Give me a break. She was doing 30 km over the speed limit. Hardly racing.

Police have a rule here where they don't waste their time pulling you over for speeding on the 100 series highways unless you are doing more than 15 km over. The normal flow of traffic is about 120. She was doing 10 km more than that.

Speeding slightly is not "racing".

Do you feel a speeding car passing you going in and out of traffic racing another car is okay?

I don't see anywhere that says she was racing another car. It's hard to "race" anyone on the 100 series highways if you are only going 130 km/h, as you will still be getting passed by transport trucks.

I think she is throwing the term "racing" around very loosely.

If she was doing 130 on one of the 80 km roads then that would be a different story.

sure, cops pay less attention to me and i can pace from a few hundred yards without risking a ticket.

Maybe you missed the thread title.

I was racing on the highway as I was driving home last night...

Or maybe the first post

and that other car got pulled over by cops right in front of me!!! I am sooo lucky. I have enough speeding tickets by now

lucky you :)

I think racing is when two people try to look cool and go ahead of each other for exactly that purpose.

I was driving in a relaxed mode and this guy was trying to be a show off and started "dancing" around my car with his in and outs. I wasn't really in the mood for that so I let him "win" lol. And that's when he got pulled over.

lucky you :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

oh, welcome to GFY :)

That's why I said she is throwing around the term "racing" very loosely. No offense to her, but I'm guessing english is not her first language.

She also said this, which doesn't even make sense:

"yeah, now racing is limited to 150km/hr haha unless you want to lose your license and car on the spot."

She is obviously using the word "racing" in place of the word "speeding". As I said before, there is a big difference between speeding and racing. A car in front of her got pulled over for speeding. She wasn't actually racing that car.

130 km/h on a 100 series highway is in no way, shape or form RACING.

You intentionally keep missing the point that she stated herself, she was IN AND OUT of traffic, RACING. Speeding is one thing, everyone speeds, to say they don't, they are lying. Cutting IN AND OUT of traffic racing someone, EVEN IF THEY ARE DOWING 130kph is still fucking idiotic and dangerous.

Sorry, everyone speeds, but driving like an asshole puts everyone on the road lives in danger.

You call 130km/h racing? :1orglaugh

I normally drive about 160km/h even if it's limited to 120km/h and up to 250km/h when there is no speed limit on the German Autobahn.

Oh and for all people getting at me now and telling me that I am an idiot for racing on a public highway: no I am not one of those retards that has a safe distance from one car to the other of 5m at 220km/h. I am a very foresighted driver the Audi has good brakes.

I was responding to the above post regarding racing, that's why i said racing speeds are now limited to 150.


Would somebody doing say 170 be considered racing if he was basically by himself on the highway? I think not. Racing is when two or more people compete with each other and that can be at any speed

You are so cool.

very true.

Actually according to Ontario law, everything from spinning your tires, popping a wheely on your motorcycle, or even revving your engine at a stop light can be considered "street racing" now. It's up to the officer's discretion. This new law is bullshit.

That is why I am so bitter on this subject. Just another tax grab by our government.

They had plenty of fines and charges in place to handle things like this already, but they had to go and bump up the fines again to a maximum of $10,000 for petty things that would normally bring less than a $200 fine, plus they take your vehicle for a week.

If a cop tries to take my car for a week because I spun my tires, he's going to be taking me away in handcuffs. I might as well make the crime suit the punishment.

what, really? I am very "prone" to burning rubber lol

btw, I heard a rumor that they will go back to automated ticket issuing cameras? That would at least not have an impact on the insurance!

Next time.. lay off the gas pedal

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

wanna be my future ex wife? lol
