Here we go again... Four high-end cars impounded after speeding through Van
 

When will these kids learn....

METRO VANCOUVER -- Four friends -- all men in their early 20s -- each were given excessive speeding tickets and had their luxury vehicles impounded early this morning after RCMP caught them street racing at over double the posted speed limits in North Burnaby.

The four Burnaby and Coquitlam men, ranging in age from 21 to 23 years old, were caught by police around 2:20 a.m. speeding west on Highway 1 toward the Ironworker's Memorial Bridge. When an officer caught up to the four near the Cassiar Tunnel they were going over 160 km/h in a 70 km/h zone, according to an RCMP media release.

Three of the four drivers still had their learner's licences and had been issued driving prohibitions in the past two years. Police impounded the cars, which were registered to each driver, and fined the men $483 for excessive speeding.

"I think it's pretty obvious [with] the speeds that they are going - irregardless of the time of day or the traffic conditions - . . . they don't seem to be concerned for their own safety, let alone the public's," said Sgt. Peter Thiessen, spokesman for the Lower Mainland District RCMP.

Thiessen said street racing between young inexperienced drivers, usually men, has been a constant issue in the Lower Mainland over the past 10 years.

It is unknown whether B.C.'s Civil Forfeiture Office will attempt to confiscate the cars permanently, like the high-performance Lamborghini seized last year after an alleged street racing incident that was sold by the office in January.

In 2010, a $235,000 Ferrari impounded after a street race that reached speeds of 200 km/h was forfeited under the Civil Forfeiture Act.

:fuckthatshit: :facepalm:

atleast they aren't super cars but a class 5..? he is fucked :facepalm:

If you're driving alone with your L, why the fuck would you do anything to even remotely draw attention to yourself? People my age just seem to be getting more stupid every day I read/watch the news.

Woudnt the class 5 be least fucked in this case? Im pretty sure the 3 class 7L's will be more screwed up in this case.

They'll be 30 by the time/ if they get their full class 5. :lawl:

might as well go back to china :lawl:

Impreza :suspicious:

unless STI

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

Subaru Impreza and Nissan 370 = luxury vehicles? :heckno:

At least there wasn't any R8's this time :troll:

And surprisingly....all 4 cars were register to each driver respectively. :ahwow:

Reckless! To make it worse it was in a around the clock construction zone.

Luxury car:

Subaru impreza

quick, dad! you drive a luxury car now!

Came in expecting luxury cars. Then saw Subaru Impreza. Ok...

They were listening to their exhaust in the tunnel, guarenteed. Obviously they will not learn fuck all from this. They have had it before, and no fucks were given obviously.

Learners license.....:facepalm:

How can a 7L buy insurance under their own name? wtf?

Also, I wonder what their last names are... :troll:

:suspicious:Where'd they get the cars?

i registered my car under my name when i bought it and had my L lol

Ohhhh, my STI is high-end!! haha.

Street-racing yes. High-end, not so much.

Kev

Vehicle 4 was a Porsche Cayman.

Meh, Im not too concerned about these 'street racers'. An M3 doing 160 at 2:30am..so what. Looks like the cop was doing 200km/hr+ weaving in and out of traffic to catch up to these guys (they showed dash cam footage from the cruiser on the news).

:rukidding:

maybe you miss the part about most of them only have their Learner's permit

^ ya I know, but even if they had a full class 5, the media/police would be making the same big deal about it.

Some rich business man/woman needs to built a proper track so that these yahoos will gtfo the streets.

I like going fast in fast cars... on a track.

Yes...............I finally drive a super car :victory:

so who won the race?
:lawl:

160 isn't even that high.
