Weakest excuse for speeding given the snow
 
http://www.theprovince.com/news/cloc...298/story.html

20 year old driver with an N clocked at 205km/h in a 110km/h zone, to make it worst, his excuse was that he wanted to avoid an incoming snowstorm.

they should of tire spiked his stupid ass and let him swerve out of control and die.

The_AK 11-25-2010 10:29 PM

What are the odds... that would seriously provide a bit of comic relief to find out I was pulled over by officer McPhail :rofl:

CP.AR 11-25-2010 10:30 PM

man I'm scared shitless going 60km/h on a snow/ice covered highway... how do these kids manage to do 200+?

J____ 11-25-2010 10:31 PM

holy shit 205kph in snow conditions? maybe they should of let him speed and kill himself before the idiot does something far more stupid and kill someone else later on in life.

i think it was something along the lines of a g37 or altima.. on the news it was covered in snow XD

taylor192 11-25-2010 10:33 PM

Will this car get forfeited?

!Tigger 11-25-2010 10:35 PM

most likely

v.Rossi 11-25-2010 10:57 PM

^ i'm like tigger on your avatar right now if his car does. he deserves it

Nightwalker 11-25-2010 11:16 PM

You could get to that speed in any old jalopy on that stretch of highway.

Groot 11-25-2010 11:21 PM

i saw this on the news. it was a 2010 honda civic sedan.

cococly 11-25-2010 11:31 PM

^Almost to its top speed :D (if it really was a 2010 civic)

MindBomber 11-25-2010 11:32 PM

That fact that its a Civic makes this even worse, it can barely stay on the road going 200km an hour in the best conditions, going in a straight line, driven by an experienced driver. The kid should see jail time.

yup definitely a silver civic coupe. saw it on the news as well.

FN-2199 11-26-2010 12:30 AM

I saw this on the news earlier. Dude is a new driver, didn't have his license on him, didn't display his N, almost doubled the already-fast-in-the-snow speed limit, and the car wasn't even his.

StealthFighter 11-26-2010 12:34 AM

good news: he didn't kill anyone

bad news: he didn't kill himself and win a darwin award.

rJZx 11-26-2010 12:49 AM

V-tec anyone :troll:

tofu1413 11-26-2010 12:56 AM

how did he manage to get a regular civic to do 200+km/h...


i dont think WRC cars even go that fast on the snow...... (then again, the wr cars run on studs too)

MindBomber 11-26-2010 01:12 AM

I don't think so either, but rally cars don't drive on the highway. Given a long enough straight stretch almost any car with any driver can break 200+km/h..

AccordCouped 11-26-2010 01:17 AM

musta been that v-tec, brought him up to 205km/h

jerche 11-26-2010 01:44 AM

The article didn't say anything about the driver's excuse about incoming snowstorms. It just said that the cops didn't go on a pursuit because of the weather conditions.

dark0821 11-26-2010 01:58 AM

ya.. thats pretty fast for a civic... this is the best my friend could pull off during summer in "best driving cond"
taken from facebook
