Surrey RCMP catch new driver street racing at nearly 200 km/h
 

:facepalm:

people gotta speed with caution.. sheesh.

no better place and time for a roll on imo, just bad luck lol

nope

22, still has his N, does 100 km/h over the speed limit ...

Sounds like a real winner.

Ain't nuthin but a G thang

Situation could have been worse..
Either get into a fatal crash or get pulled and impounded..
Life lesson regardless
Glad to see RCMP was able to stop them and reduce the risk of more potential danger on the road..

Won't be long before we see a thread on how to dispute this ticket because the cop wrote his name wrong on the ticket and how it will hold up in court.

Is it just me, or do almost all of our BC driving violation fines seem way too lenient? Nevermind the ridiculously pocket-change-like $167 for distracted driving, $486 for street racing while possessing a New Driver license? That's not scaring anyone, the guy will continue doing the same shit as soon as he gets his car back. How about doubling or tripling that and see the reaction?

I was honestly surprised that was it.

That's just a start. More costs to come including losing drivers license.

It is more than just the $486.

If he doesn't get it thrown out or reduced, he should be looking at a towing charge, possibly impound storage fee, ICBC's DRP for $320 and the penalty point premiums.

I think there's a 3 point limit on N drivers so if he has had any other tickets this, he can be open to suspension and sent back to L.

He got a 15 day driving prohibition according to the province.

$468 and a couple knees to the rib

That only happens to bikers.

Not bad. Time to get a G37. :accepted:

that's just roadside, more shit will come after from motor vehicle superintendent of a further ban, and the amount of money needed to reinstate licence (after quite some time of course)

Tbh these speeds are nothing. It just really depends on traffic and weather. If it's clear then imo it should be ok. Try driving in Germany. 200km/h is the average. I really wish I could drive as fast as I did there. Good times

^ Sure, if you want everyone to have to take German-style license tests, and German-level vehicle inspections to the tune of a bunch of extra money.

That's not even the highest ticket amount, is there no excessive speed mark beyond 40 over?

200kph
22yo
G37
we know where this is headin' :troll:

Guys we found the other driver.

15days is a joke for someone who has no regard for innocent people's lives...

link?

Wait...
why this guy only gets a $486 ticket and a 15 days impound going 100km/h over??
I remember few years back those Ferrari going 100 over had their $200K cars forfeited and auctioned off..?

See below. Police don't have that power.

after the ticket you get hit with the impound fee, which usually ends up being a $100 tow depending where you are and around $25 for each day you are impounded. With the Drivers Risk penalty it ends up being $320 each year for 3 consecutive years.

so yes, its substantially more than $486

edit: ^ oops i missed discusssing this

If the person is found legally not guilty, its bs that the accused has to pay for all the storage and tow fees. I'm not saying this is the case at hand, but this system is so flawed.
