your kidding right? 2010 TL has a 0-60 mph 5.2 seconds and a Quarter mile 13.7 @ 101 mph

thats pretty quick....

^I think he meant 130mph? :bowrofl:

Most people are prohibited from driving under the Motor Vehicle Act, thereby not a criminal offence. However, if you are disqualified by the courts under S. 259 of the Criminal Code (as linked above) and are caught driving, it will be a criminal offence.

If you are convicted of driving while prohibited (Motor Vehicle Act) twice, you get a mandatory 14 day sentence. Further convictions increase mandatory jail time and fine amounts.

Accidents happens to the best of us...what happens then? AFAIK your insurance are voided even if you did not cause the accidents.

^ People who drive without licenses (and there are a lot that do) don;t think about or care about insurance or consequences. If they did, then you'd never see people driving while prohibited.

I'm saying that I'm not comfertable driving past 130km/h.

Going the fast on a public road is horrifying.

I admit I've had my tickets but I haven't had a ticket for a couple of years now. (last one was no N). But for me I get pulled over at least once a month just because the cop is "suspicious". I'm a big EI guy in a sporty car. Profiling at its best. Those of you who claim that your SOOOO good at driving cause you haven't got a ticket yet doesn't mean your actually good at driving. Just lucky.

OP feel sorry for ya. But, its true the open can + blowing a warn is pretty obvious.

edit: 130mph is 209kph not hard for a TL to achieve :p

TIME TO CALL THE TOP GUN DUI LAWYER OF THEM ALL.
He's only based in California, just thought it'd be funny.

Seriously cops that pull that tailgating highbeam bullshit pisses me off. Personally i'd slam on the brakes lock them up and let insurance figure out the rest since he will be 100% at fault.

If you drove it like you stole it only to get caught and tailgated by a giant SUV. You need to learn how to drive.

lol in his case insurance would be void because he would have been breaking the MVA as be blew over .05%
lol, ok that makes sense...

OP didn't get the support he hoped for and abandoned ship days ago. He's obviously back to posting under his usual alias as this one was made to test the waters and see if people would actually feel for him.

^He still hasn't tell us how fast he went, lol

You deserve to get charged for your offences and have your day in court if you wish to dispute them.

You do not deserve to get your vehicle forfeited under the civil forfeiture act, which IMO is trampling on your constitutional rights of private property ownership.

From my research, every vehicle that has been forfeited by the CFO office due to "violations that could potentially endanger the public interest" were a result of a SETTLEMENT, not a judgement of the court. I conjecture that the office does not want to bring speeding type offences to the court because if it gets thrown out, it will set a precedent where they will not be able to forfeit any more vehicles where no damage has been done to society.

I am not a lawyer. But I would like you to PM me and let me know what options they have given you regarding settlement vs. court options.

i feel sorry for you dude lawyer up asap !

Does that apply to seizure of drug-trafficking assets as well, then?

^^The civil forfeiture office's budget is completely tied to the amount of forfeitures they make. They're essentially like parasites. They may have had an initial impact in the beginning, but most high rolling drug dealers know not to have any assets in their personal name. For the CFO office to survive, they have to go about trampling on the rights of normal citizens. We already have sufficient punitive penalties for excessive speeding. Since when does it become OK for the government to seize and sell someone's property before he has even been CONVICTED of a crime?

^ So you say you've been doing "research" on all the cases and they have all been settlements. How many cases have you "investigated" and what are the details on them for you to make such a claim?

FWIW, it takes just under 15 minutes driving on Hwy 1 at a steady 80km/h amidst similarly flowing traffic during the day from E.1st onramp, Gaglardi exit, then up to Caribou Hill area.

If it took 20 mins at 3am to travel the same stretch, you must have been going 60km/h, or alternating between 190km/h and 0?

I feel for getting your car seized, but I too feel that there is a second side to this story

It's all in the Civil Forfeiture office's annual report which they publish online.

Ah, Marco. Still the same after all these years. Instead of posting the link so other RS'ers can read it for themselves you mention something exists and leave everyone hanging.

Except, slamming on your brakes without cause will revert blame back to you. At least, partially.

It's the 2nd result on google:
