"Pace Car" program coming to the Lower Mainland
 

?Pace car? debate heats up as Sense BC calls out program - BC | Globalnews.ca



"Fuck off"

:badpokerface:

What's next? Speed cameras?

this about sums up my opinion on the matter.


you will definitely get mr/mrs. officer-wannabe signing up for this program and be gung-ho, balls to the walls with the speed enforcement bullshit on this.


just wait till one of those "pace car" drivers start power tripping and try to block people from speeding past.

future richmond headlines...

"number of bmws and lexsus and such have been running into pace cars"

All it's going to do is cause road rage.

as long as pace car is in the slow lane.. its all good

Let's make a "Race car" program...

:troll:

I wish i could multi thank.

this is pathetic.

i hate the attitude of "canadians" towards motor vehicles and speed - speed isn't the issue here, lack of driver ability and education is THE issue

cause pace cars have such a good track record (no pun intended) with professional drivers during a warm up lap that it'll likely translate well into our streets.


check out the AM at 2:54 :lawl:

this is stupid. 2 steps backwards.

That's what my thought was too, can't believe now people don't have anything better to do. If I see one of these fuckers I'll make sure to go by them doing double the speed limit.

^ WOT past the bastards sounds good to me.

this is the EXACT response this program will get - everyone usually travels about 60, maybe 65 on the big 50kmph roads of richmond (these roads are 2-3 lanes at times, definitely not dangerous to go 60 on them in modern cars) will now get some smart arse fucktard purposely slowing them down. there is nothing more aggravating than going 50kmph when there is no real reason not to go 20% faster.

it will just end up with people up their arses (which i'm sure will lead to these pace cars brake checking, because if you're the kind of person to be a pace car, you're likely one of those know it all twits that say "well i'm going the speed limit, get off my back *brake*"), more rear end accidents, more road rage incidents, more acts of aggression which will lead to dangerous passing maneuvers

all in all, whoever thought up this idea should be shot in the kneecap, it is so childish and unnecessary.

i agree that we need to stop those going 100+ in 50 zones, they are a danger to one and all, but slowing EVERYONE down won't make 1 ounce of a difference.

also,

what happens if one of these "pace" vehicles gets into an accident while on "duty"?

do my tax dollars go towards paying for these muppets' bad judgement calls?

ffs, they'll need to pay some cunt to do a "long term study" on the pace cars. then they'll pay some other fool to write a report on why we should get rid of pace cars after there is a public outcry on how fucking stupid this is. waste of time and money on a program that is completely ridiculous.

maybe its time for me to upgrade from:

to:

that way i can safely push this turds off to the side of the road where they belong.


fuckin twatwaffles

Start a official bush bar fund for T4? I think so.

Do it. And while you're at it get those DuraTracs the 2nd one has.

You haven't travelled much around Canada have you? Only British Columbians have a retarded attitude toward speed. Ontarians and québécois will happily drive on average 40-60 km/h above the posted limit on highways.

Ever since that documentary on speed that basically shits on everything reported by Global News, it's safe to say that Global shouldn't even be considered a read for anything related to traffic news.

Oh and fuck this program, too. We have pace cars already, they're called Driving School cars.

and people in crown vics.

Time to grab an ex cop Crown Vic and have some fun :troll:

Turn on speed readin on dashcam, follow pace car arnd goin faster than speed limit, post on youtube, win

Honestly speaking, I'm afraid that people will simply overtake these "Pace cars" and cause even more problems

well said - you're right, i've never driven outside of BC, as if i travel, I go south, to asia, or to europe, places where driving is WAY better.

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

This is not going to solve the problem of speeding. In fact, it will probably make it worse. Like dared3vil0 said, it's only gonna cause road rage, and more aggressive driving. Some people will even pass these "pace cars" at high speeds just to prove a point. To prove that others can't control the way they drive.

Also, statistics have shown that the majority of speed related traffic accidents are caused because a car is going BELOW the traffic flow, and not above.

I'm not encouraging speeding here, but this really is a stupid idea. It won't solve anything, and will only make things worse.
