Wow they're pretty old to still be having Ls.

Judging by the prohibitions they were served before, these guys deserve to be getting their full license by the time they're middle-aged

Assuming they're asian and if they got them right when they got their licenses, most likely parents (I've seen worse during high school, believe me). You can't buy an M3 if you work full-time at a bubbletea joint :fuckthatshit:

These clowns don't deserve their cars nor their licenses; what does it take to put your car under civil forfeiture?

Weak cars except the M3. Expected more.

police in van... sigh..

yray 07-24-2012 09:28 PM

I'm surprised the Porsche didn't take the exit to gtfo

124Y 07-24-2012 09:44 PM

There are only a few Amuse 370Zs in town, coupled with a black E92/E93 M3 and a Cayman, I think I know who these guys are...

Sky_High 07-24-2012 09:57 PM

On the side note....VPD/RCMP need to upgrade to some better dash cam's. Maybe a DR400? :troll:

- not wide angle enough
- shitty quality
- no GPS / speed stamp (although they probably have other equipment in the cruiser for that)

It looks like quality of.... one of those $30 ebay units :lawl::

FRStan 07-24-2012 10:23 PM

I'm assuming the Amuse Z is the one from Coquitlam... Guess I won't see it for a while

Sky_High 07-24-2012 10:27 PM

^There's three possibilities:

1) The one that wrapped + overkilled use of vinyl with only Amuse rear
http://www.revscene.net/forums/65250...advan-rzs.html

2) The one own by "Hyung" / Goes to SFU / or aka the "long hair male" :troll:

3) M1NEZ's female friend...who finally made enough profit from selling her LV bags to buy a legit Amuse kit :lawl:

Too much money! It's important to have a dash cam just so that if guys like these speed past you and then they slow down by the time the officer catches up, it can prove your innocence!

160 at night isn't that bad there. Sure its against limits, but during daytime you still easily flow at 100.

But, the fact they were going in a pack just made it that more dangerous.. But ya, change the thread title. I was expecting like 200 km/h speeds and european supercars. Maybe that's why it makes 160km/h look somewhat reasonable.

FerrariEnzo 07-24-2012 11:55 PM

Its not really the fact that they were going XXX speed... its when there are 2 or more cars doing it, making it dangerous...

1exotic 07-25-2012 12:04 AM

meh 160km/h is not fast at all .. especially at that time when literally no one else is driving around.
don't even see how this can make the news....

Harvey Specter 07-25-2012 12:06 AM

I agree 160 say in Europe isn't that much but 160 is pretty extreme for our highways because most drivers around here are not immune to those type of speeds, hell I think 120 is pretty extreme for most drivers. And imagine a driver who's doing like 80 and switches lanes not aware that the cars in his/her rear view are clocking 160.

and the logic behind that is...? if they are all going 160 and not weaving in/out of traffic I don't see how it's more dangerous than one car doing it...

I think class 7 is also your N ... I'm assuming that's what most had.

asian_XL 07-25-2012 04:53 AM

they need to start throwing these rich kids in jail and crush their cars.

91civicZC 07-25-2012 06:38 AM

Yes think limits should be higher in many areas, but at 160, errors come pretty quick and are not something that are easy to correct. An error at 160 generally means death to yourself or someone else.

There is no justification in doing double the posted limit in a city setting under any normal circumstances.

While I am totally against BCs “Forfeiture” laws, driving bans and massively increased fines should apply here, these are repeat offenders, the punishment obviously needs to increase to get the message across.

Don't forget that that whole area is a construction zone. There are sections where the road surface is uneven, broken up, unannounced dips and bumps, sharp jogs in the road... at that speed even a small bump will give you air, and when your tires are off the ground, you have NO control.

I think the fact that 3 of them are on learners licenses and some have lost their license prior to this is more concerning than just the overall speed. Doing 160 is excessive but at 2:30am i find this to be less risky than the assholes who do 80 down Main street every morning cause they are late for work. In fact anyone doing even 70 annoys me, speeding in the city during Peak hours even by 20 km/hr is risky stuff.

TRDood 07-25-2012 10:23 AM

Why not show the video when the four cars are actually doing 160? Instead of showing the tape when the four cars have already slowed down.

lol this shit again.
