So I totaled my car few nights ago. Tires lost grip on wet roads on the freeway and I spun out of control slamming into a light post. You guys probably saw the damage I did if you took the exit ramp from Alderbridge onto Knight.

That aside I don't know what I should do about the car now. Claiming through ICBC would be the last thing I want because I don't want my insurance to sky rocket and fear city might charge me for the light post lol. Can someone tell me how salvaging your car works?

No witnesses after the crash and I was able to drive home before the battery completely died the next day.

also, FAIL. man up and report this to ICBC. you know that the repair to the light post plus whatever else you damages comes out of the Richmond city taxes, right? ie: you just cost Richmond residents money.

[RiceIntegraRS]

You have 3 options. Report to ICBC, they will pay you out for your car cause thats a definate writeoff minus deductible and your insurance will go up. How
much? depends on how much discount u have now.

Or you can just walk away from this accident and just buy a new car.

Or you can attempt to get it fixed but i wouldnt do it. Thats over 10K in damage unless u take it to some cheap hack shop it maybe cheaper

yes because then icbc would have paid the city on your behalf (and then recouped the costs by raising your premium). this is what the OP wants to avoid.

if it's a hit and run, then the city would have to fix it themselves incurring most, if not all, costs. where does all this money come from? city resident taxes. unless they make a hit and run claim with icbc (if it's obvious that a vehicle caused the damage), but i assume they'd still have to pay a deductible of some sort.

Personally I think you should just walk away from it and get a new car. Just like what dark0821 said, no one should purposely rat out someone when no one was harmed in any way thankfully and someone is seeking some advice on what to do.

Just my 2 cents

[maxxxboost]

Go to ICBC.

[van_driver]

Dude I think your license plate is illegal

[Noizz]

I'm all for OP for manning up to his mistakes, but no one likes a fucking snitch.

The OP is in violation of the Motor Vehicle Act and committing an offence. When people commit offences like murder, vandalism, abuse, you wouldn't report it?

I know it may not seem to be the same level as a murder, but more on that later.

Duty of driver at accident
68 (1) The driver or operator or any other person in charge of a vehicle that is, directly or indirectly, involved in an accident on a highway must do all of the following:
(a) remain at or immediately return to the scene of the accident;
(b) render all reasonable assistance;
(c) produce in writing to any other driver involved in the accident and to anyone sustaining loss or injury, and, on request, to a witness
(i) his or her name and address,
(ii) the name and address of the registered owner of the vehicle,
(iii) the licence number of the vehicle, and
(iv) particulars of the motor vehicle liability insurance card or financial responsibility card for that vehicle,
or such of that information as is requested.

(3) The driver or operator or any other person in charge of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in damage to property on or adjacent to a highway, other than a vehicle under subsection (2), must take reasonable steps to locate and notify in writing the owner or person in charge of the property of the fact of the accident and of the following:
(a) the name and address of the driver, operator or other person in charge of the vehicle;
(b) the name and address of the registered owner;
(c) the licence number of the vehicle.

I guess one can easily argue that if everyone was as irresponsible as the OP..then yes all hell will break lose and premiums and taxes will shoot up.

But honestly, I doubt one or a few accidents like this will make difference to you as taxpayers.

I hope I'm not being trolled by Soulcrusher haha

Yes no personal property was damage, what about public property? Isn't there a value on public property? We all pay for it through taxes.

The OP owes a duty as a driver at an accident to notify the proper owner. Who might that be? The city. How would he do so? Well he can first start off by reporting it to ICBC.

It's not just about higher premiums, its about safety. How can you foresee that no one will get hurt? Just because no one did, there is still an increase in the probability that the general public could get hurt as a result of the OP's negligence if the lamppost was not reported and fixed ASAP. The lamppost is on the ground for crying out loud:

The light post is on the ground and glass is everywhere on the corner. I was wondering who hit it this time as I drove by yesturday.

Although I cannot attest the exact location of the fallen lamppost, if it fell on the road on a highway on or off ramp that could well be a blind corner, someone COULD get hurt.

Here is a prime example, do you remember this? The person responsible for the gate at BCIT was negligent and could have killed the driver in the STI. In our case, the OP by leaving the accident and not notifying the proper authorities, leaving a lamppost on the ground is surely negligent or at least contributorily negligent if someone were to get hurt.

OP committed an offence under the MVA, and is negligent of his duty as a driver after an accident. What is DIU, you mean DUI? He would have to be under the influence of a drug. There is no way to pin that on him, however his could well be driving without care and attention.

The difference is that we're not his friends. We do not know if his accident was genuine or that of a careless one. His actions made the public streets less safe as a result.

Smoking weed on the other hand, as it is illegal, it is a grey area. Does smoking weed directly affect someone's safety? Do you think that drivers who do not drive with due care and attention affect the safety of the public more so than those who smoke weed?

Also, you would have a hard time identifying who is smoking weed through the internet, whereas you have picture worth a thousand words from the OP.

I find it quite hypocritical, when RS members who are strongly against drinking and driving, speeding, and reckless driving, actually failed SoulCrusher for reporting this incident.

You guys reported, on multiple occasions, people doing burnouts at the RS meets, taking pictures of them and sending them to police. How is this any different? Did anyone ultimately get hurt from that guy doing a burnout that year? No, but yet you all applauded when an RS member submitted pictures to the police.

I'm just trying to elaborate the perspective of SoulCrusher. There is no reason why he should have been failed for his post and his actions.

Glad that you're okay, but had you not posted this, although unethical, your best option would have just been to walk away scrapping the car. But now, your smartest and best option is to report to ICBC and let them deal with everything. You left the scene of an accident with glass shards everywhere on the highway that could have caused more damage or accidents.

Real mature post, the difference between the original argument and yours is that the OP willing posted up his picture/license and expressly. A bit of copy and paste made it possible to forward to authorities. Is it reasonable and convenient for you to step out of your car and reprimand the instigator?

You're comparing apples and oranges here. Here in BC, as you may already know, they are constantly stepping up enforcement against drunk driving. What is it about? It's about getting drunk drivers off the road to make it a safer place. Now what? Replace drunk with irresponsible.

So stop being a smart ass and understand that there is tolerance level as to what the social norm for safety on public roads are.

Noizz I feel you have a valid argument from the previous page. However, I would never compare a burnout (which is completely intentional...and in front of dozens of people literally meters away from the car) to an accident, despite the obvious damage on OP's car suggests he was driving carelessly.

I admit the convenience of all this already posted on a website made the reporting a lot easier, but the mentality is the same. I can think of many other situations where others have openly admitted to an irresponsible action when they should be reported.

I believe people should take responsibility for their actions, but let the police do their jobs. If you want irresponsible drivers off our road, we should target motorists with burnt taillights and even those who forget to turn on their headlights at night. Where do we draw this tolerence level?

Unless it's blatantly speeding or drunk driving, hit & run to a ped or a personal property, I stick with the MYOB acronyms I learned in elementary school.

Well said, we both agree that the damage to OP's car is significant.

Now, you said it yourself, unless its blatantly speed or drunk driving, MYOB. How do you know that the OP wasn't blatantly speeding or drunk? Of course he isn't going to admit it in his post.

He may well have been speeding or drunk at the time of the accident. Although I'm in no position to accuse him of this, he leveled a lamp post backwards for crying out loud. I don't think that careless driving would have caused that.

Others may think otherwise, but my original argument was why SoulCrusher would be failed. A snitch is someone who informs the authorities right?

- A burnout is illegal
- Breaching your duty as a driver at an accident is illegal

The burnout is intentional, leaving the scene of your accident and not reporting it is also intentional. Therefore, the burnout situation at previous RS meets where RS members informed the authorities concludes that those members are snitches.

People should take responsibility, but there are those that are not responsible if you don't set an example. Whether you choose to MYOB or "snitch" is really your choice.

It is obvious that we all have different levels of tolerance, so why should someone be failed for expressing their concern? I myself usually MYOB, but I'm just annoyed by the fact that RS is keen on keeping the streets safe, but somehow they fail another member for taking action?

Sorry but all of RS doesn't have the same keen goal of keeping the streets safe. We all have different opinions. The ones that failed the "snitch" can already tell you that they think otherwise already in this particular case. Don't think just because a few members were reported doing burnout at meets and doing illegal violations with or without the due care of others, represent that we all care about the crackdown on all criminal activities in and around the City of Vancouver that pass by. In cases that don't affect the community, I personally, can care less already.

I see someone with no lights on at night that could pose a threat to maybe another senior driver that couldn't see easily at night, so I guess I need to take a picture and forward it to the police. I see someone outside my neighborhood that did a U-turn while a police car just passed by the other side and didn't take note of it, so I need to follow the car, take pictures and forward it to the police.

That's what a citizen needs to do so that the driver gets their consequences

I am DEFINITELY getting a BMW as a family car in the future.

For those of you who are wondering, my tires lost grip and I did a 360 spin and my back end slammed into the lamp post. Roads were wet and tires lost grip. Yup yup.

Just my opinion...

I havnt failed anyone in this thread, because I think all arguments are valid..

but for those of you that went through the trouble of finding OP's blog + youtube account
do you feel that accomplished screwing someone you dont know personally over?

I dont mean we should "cover up" for the OP, just my own argument, think of it from OP's point of view

You were in an accident and your car is beyond repair. He already lost out I would say 10,000. Now, 10,000 to anyone is alot of money wouldnt you say? If OP was from vansky powered by mommy daddy, sure why the fuck not report this to the police. But, this is not the case, I personally worked my ass off to save up enough $$ to buy a car, at least to me, this incident has already taught a lesson to OP even without the huge ass penalty now he is going to face. Have all of you ever not have destroyed any public property what so ever during your whole life? (intentional or not) did you all went and report yourselfs?

OP came to revscene for help on HOW TO SALVAGE HIS CAR, to cut his losses from his hard earned money.

revscene is suppose to be a community to help each other out, not thinking 5Xs before posting something. I already think there is "enough" hate going around the forum, and now this...


I joined Revscene originally, not because revscene was a law breaking, street racing gearheads. But because it was a supportive community, where we look out for every single members within the club. Sometimes the "right" thing to do (in this case, fwd shit to RCMP) might not always be the "right" thing to do. Do you guys always "BE A MAN, DOOOO the RIGHT THING" in every situation you ever encountered?

just my 0.02

(i am an imiigrant, so my english/grammer/spellin is shit lol props to anyone who can read thru the whole thing once and understand it)
and no I dont know the OP personally, but I am somewhat dissapointed at the outcome of thie thread. Do we have to be this careful now, and be scared to post up your own cars that are running all straight pipes or slammed so low that it breaks the MVA law enforcement? I know police are members on this forum, so just let the police to their job.... They can get shit done without us fwd them shit here and there...

So I ran over my neighbours seeing eye dog a few nights ago. Tires lost grip on wet roads on the freeway and I spun out of control slamming into the poor mutt. You guys probably saw the damage I did if you took the exit ramp from Alderbridge onto Knight. It was just laying there, almost dead but not quite.

That aside I don't know what I should do about the car now. Claiming through ICBC would be the last thing I want because I don't want my insurance to sky rocket and they might charge me for the damage to the dog lol. Can someone tell me how repairing your car works?

No witnesses after the crash and I was able to drive home before the battery completely died the next day.



WAT DO DARK0821.


He did something illegal and is attempting to leave the scene without taking any responsibility. Declares it on a public internet forum where members of the police force frequently visit. Being " SUPPORTIVE " is making the OP learn he needs to be responsible for his actions by manning up instead of trying to find a backroute and "escape" so to speak.

[dark0821]

I see your point, like I stated above, I understand yours and others point of view perfectly, no need to dramatize the whole incident by replacing a lamp post with a life.

He did break the law, I am not saying he didnt. BUT where do we draw the line? do you speed when you drive? I speed when I drive, I drive 60km/hr on city streets or just keep up with traffic. Do I expect a speeding ticket everytime I get behind a car?

should drivers notify the city when they leave a scrap mark on the wall of public parking lots? You know, so the city can touch up the paint on the wall and charge the driver a shit load of $$?

I am in no way saying that what you did is wrong at all. I am just trying to give people another perspective on the same situation. at the end of the day, I am not going to loose sleep over this thread. But revscene has changed, granted I havnt even been here all that long.

supportive means different things to different people I guess.

Example: Your friend just got dumped by his GF, even knowing you friend has had problems of his own, but when he calls you out to have a drink. Are you going to be "supportive" and tell him
"well, you fucked up man, you did this this and that, and its probably your fault that you ended up single"
did the friend break any law? nope, a pretty far strech from the context of this incident, but I am trying to illustrate a point of being "supportive"

to me... Supportive does not mean doing the right thing. Its called being supportive!

what I see in my eyes is that... given the limited information the OP has stated in the first post, his question was simple, how to get the most $$ out of his wreck, no need to go diggin up everything. What if I came in tomorrow and asked people on revscene how to install some HIDs in my /240SXcorolla and attach a picture of a HID kit I am holdin with my 240SX/corolla in the background?

1 - so sure you can be supportive, but you're going to be supportive in a negative way( not doing the right thing ) ? Yes, that is a TRUE friend, encourage someone to not do the right thing. please, go on.

2- they'd dig out what vehicle you were installing it on , which you identified as a 240sx/corolla, then proceed to call you a phaggot for considering to install HIDs in a reflector assembly.

[dark0821]

You know what?

i know i am fighting a loosing battle... you are right, i am wrong...

i am unsupportive, thanks. I learned something about myself today.

I know plently of people who installs HIDs with on reflector assembly, EVO X GSR/Honda Fit/Arcura EL/E30 BMW M3, just within my own apartment parking lot... I guess I should go now and rat them out as well, since well.. ya, being supportive right?

like I stated above, I am not the one who is going to be out of $$, get in trouble with my parents, loose sleep over this.

Do whatever Revscene wants... I guess OP could have just shown a picture of his car and asked how to salvage it right?

pce... going out.. will check back tonight. =P

[Noizz]

He did break the law, I am not saying he didnt. BUT where do we draw the line? do you speed when you drive? I speed when I drive, I drive 60km/hr on city streets or just keep up with traffic. Do I expect a speeding ticket everytime I get behind a car?

There is a difference between what is reasonable and what is not. Is it reasonable to give everyone a speeding ticket in your scenario? No. Is it reasonable to ticket everyone at the Art Gallery on 420? No. We're dealing with a single occurrence here with the OP and not multiple acts of law breaking.


should drivers notify the city when they leave a scrap mark on the wall of public parking lots? You know, so the city can touch up the paint on the wall and charge the driver a shit load of $$?

Again, is it reasonable to have to report yourself scuffing a sidewalk? No. You're bringing it out of context. When a speeding driver or drunk driver crashes his car into a school, you would expect justice to be serve right? The OP leveled a lamp post, glass sprinkled all over the road, and left a lamp post unsecured on the ground on a highway ramp, isn't that more reasonable than scuffing a sidewalk?

Example: Your friend just got dumped by his GF, even knowing you friend has had problems of his own, but when he calls you out to have a drink. Are you going to be "supportive" and tell him
"well, you fucked up man, you did this this and that, and its probably your fault that you ended up single"
did the friend break any law? nope, a pretty far strech from the context of this incident, but I am trying to illustrate a point of being "supportive"

Your GF approach is missing an illegal act. Of course you wouldn't tell your friend he fucked up. Add in an illegal act. Your buddy physically abused his GF not knowingly when he was drunk. Are you still going to be supporting him positively?

[dark0821]

like I said, my examples are far fetched to illustrate my own point of view...

I realized what I did is wrong, and what you guys are doing are right.so you can use my post as examples, but you dont have to persuade me into thinking I am doing something wrong, I already acknowledged that.

That being said, I am "supportive" like a young teenager while you guys are like the "parents/teacher/a nice rcmp" type of supportive

But OP clearly came on revscene to find support in the young teenager kind of way, we dont hang out with our parents for a reason imo...

I personally had my fireworks taken away by a bby rcmp only to have driven half a block, came back, and gave me back all the fireworks he took from me. I was lighting them up inside an elementary gravel soccer field. Yes I was breaking the law, but I explained I lived in an apartment so i dont really have a backyard. The RCMP, knowingly I am breaking the law still gave back the fireworks, now was he being supportive in a wrong way as well?

Just sayin, this is just my take on this specific incident.
I am wrong =P but I do feel for the OP at the same time

[kyoshiro]

^In your case, you're breaking the law but you haven't caused any property damage and the fact is that if you did, you would have been held liable. If your firework misfired and shot a building and damaged it, would you still walk away? Your personal experience is out of context.
The OP is probably a teenager looking at his post, worry about insurance rate (maybe first year N even), the overall look of the tumblr, etc. What a responsible person would do is have him learn from his mistakes. Running away from it will not make him a better person. He took the wrong direction already with his description, he hasn't replied or anything to admit his wrong doing. The only thing left is to teach him life in a harsher way.
It is not us being parents/teacher/a nice rcmp type of supportive. It is us being a member of society and how a real friend should be. If you're going to be stuck in the young teenager mentality you will never grow, you will never be able to go into society as it is a lot harsher than a "controlled" environment where if you do something wrong, your parents will scold you and you'll probably get away with it.
What OP did is breaking society's law and society's trust by not doing the right thing, who is to say next time something like this happens he wouldn't run away? What is not to say that he was actually going at high speeds that caused his tires to slip? An experienced driver knows to slow down when it rains, why was he going at speeds where he loses grip? There is also clearly people who see property damage on the light post. The light post is property of the people of Richmond, it follows all the conventions of property rights and property damage. Its the same as a hit and run.

Just sayin, this is just my take on this specific incident.
I am wrong =P but I do feel for the OP at the same time

From the POV of the RCMP officer who took your fireworks away, you were in a gravel soccer field. There isn't an immediate threat from you firing off your fireworks in an open field of rocks. He must of felt you were responsible enough to at least do it out of harms way. You raise a good point though, kids gotta have fun right? But not at the expense of the safety of the public.

Now if you were to use those fireworks say on the public street, at cars in traffic, etc. the RCMP officer probably wouldn't have given if back to you or worse, take you in to your parents.

Don't look at the OP's accident as, "no one got hurt, its ok". Think about what could have happened. He took down a lamp post in the Alderbridge -> Knight ramp. It's a high traffic area, and one that everyone takes at semi-high speed. Someone could have been hurt as a result if the lamp post was in the middle of the road.

Again, looking at the BCIT parking lot incident. The guy in the STI almost died because someone wasn't careful. I'm sure who ever was responsible for that gate probably thought to himself, "the gate is not going to move around, if I don't pin it down, it's so heavy", or simply forgot. When really, a simple pin would have prevented someone almost losing their life and +$15,000 in damage.

^ lol u guys are hilarious, but it was just stupid for these "private investigators" to give out details, and personal information about the op. he came here looking for help and advice not to get ratted out.

[Mancini]

The opposition against the OP is not due to the fact that he simply had an accident. That's forgivable even if he was driving too aggressively (although this forum has a history of stating otherwise).

His accident resulted in the destruction of property that created a substantial hazard to property and persons. He proceeded to willfully, recklessly and negligently leave that hazard on the road to escape comparatively minor financial implications to his car insurance premium. Then, he posted on a public internet forum to further assist him in avoiding responsibility. This is the problem.

I'm all for OP for manning up to his mistakes, but no one likes a fucking snitch.

Irrelevant. And no one likes [criminal] behavior that recklessly endangers the lives and property of others.

The light post is on the ground and glass is everywhere on the corner. I was wondering who hit it this time as I drove by yesturday.

lol i saw it, and a ton of glass, i was going to quickly to really pay attention if it snapped in half or not, but it's on it's side for sure.

You left the scene of an accident with glass shards everywhere on the highway that could have caused more damage or accidents.

These posts highlight the danger he left for others to discover. If I had been on my motorcycle this could easily have caused an accident resulting in serious injury, disability, or worse - let alone the damage to my bike. Even in my car (awd) I'd be looking for a set of 4 new tires (hundreds of dollars) as a result of a bad glass puncture even if I didn't have an accident..

How are so many people ok with this?

But honestly, I doubt one or a few accidents like this will make difference to you as taxpayers.

No personal property/possession was damaged, nothing was stolen, no one was scamed no one was hurt...why snitch?

How do you know? HOW DO YOU KNOW? It may have happened before this was cleaned up. If someone is lying in a hospital bed they're not going to post on revscene to tell you about it. There may also be other unclaimed damages we have not heard about.

If the OP was driving aggressively and injured an innocent party this forum would be calling for his head. Also, if the property damaged belonged to any of the posters in this thread, I have no doubt that they, too, would be calling for his head. Posters on this forum have anxiety attacks over door dings and fender scrapes. Everyone posting in the OP's favor is doing so only because they were not directly financially involved or victimized by his negligent actions.

This thread is full of moral bankruptcy.

There is something that doesn't add up.

If the OP reported this accident right away all he would ever be liable for is a couple thousand dollars spread out over a few years by virtue of his insurance premium going up. In the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal. In return, ICBC would pay him for his car or repair it. His blog also says he's hurt and ICBC might contribute towards medical or other costs too.

It's in his best financial interest to report it to ICBC. Why is he walking away from this?

0% discount, insurance rates doubling if reported, did not renew license, was driving the vehicle more than 2 times a month to work, didn't buy the right liabilities, or simply negligence.

whether anyone snitches or not thats the individual's discretion

[El Dumbasso]

After some extensive research (5 minutes on google), I've determined that people don't usually shop around for street lamps (who knew?!) and that it appears replacing a street lamp may cost upwards of $5,000.

That being said, is it can be perspective tiem nao?
What if (and this is a BIT of a stretch here) the OP created a thread saying "Hai guise! My bald friend and I stole a bank vault with $5,000 in it from the city of Richmond by towing it with his Charger and my BMW. We got away from the police officer that helped us steal the vault in the first place, but I totalled my car in the process. If I'd have been in a Japanese car, the Brazilian gang would have killed us, but my passengers and myself were thankfully unharmed. Anyways guise, WAT DO?"

Your two brake lights are there for a reason, so if I ever see you driving with one burnt out I will report your license plate to the police.:devil:

Of course it's anyone's discretion to 'snitch'.

Like I already said, if everyone in society had the same mentality as the OP then it would be an anarchy. But thankfully not everyone's that irresponsible. I'm not trying to defend the OP.

I don't want to bring an example that's not traffic related but if i ever see people admitting that they pirate music, movies, games I will report them too for causing the industry to create BS fees, a la Online Pass...much like how people would complain about taxes.

People get every chance they get to whine about taxes.

Thank goodness he's alive and not on CBC Canada right now.

[jlenko]

Anyone ever think this guy maybe just made up the whole fuckin' thing and that's not even a pic of his car?

See how many of you would waste your time calling the police and reporting something they read on the internet, that isn't even true. And reporting it to ICBC.

Just sayin'..

this must be OP right now

Hit and run...you did...is an arrestable offence under the BC Mtor Vehicle Act.

[lfyshi]

^I have a rather dumb question.

What if you hit a tree/shrub that is on the side of the road/highway, (assuming a relatively minor incident which the vehicle was still driveable)

[JayEch]

haha op has a funny real life name.

[SKILLZNawMeen]

If you are on a laptop, try tilting your screen back, then look at the plate :fullofwin:

shit your right...u can see it haha. Good tip

If the total damage involved, and that includes your car damage and the trees, shrubs( have you priced how much they cost lately, plus the cost of someone replacing them) exceeds $1000 the crash must be reported.

[Noizz]

LOL at snitching to the ICJEWBC.
Seriously everyone find something new to do, than sit on the computer and discuss how wrong OP is. Obviously he's not too smart posting evidence online of public destruction. However, this isn't as nearly as bad as NOIZZ or whatever his face says it is, and how blah blah blah crime this crime that.

I suggest you read my posts again, you clearly need help with comprehension. When your argument against me literally contains blah blah blah. I'm laughing at the fact you can't analyze a simple argument :lol

I'll summarize it for you, there was a higher opportunity that something bad could have happened as a result of the OP not reporting a unsecured lamp post on the ground versus not doing anything about it. In addition, it is obvious that he was carelessly driving.

The driver even mentioned in his blog he did +65mph, how much is that in kph? 100km/hr on an exit ramp in the rain? Good job.

What is safety? Minimizing the opportunity something bad could happen and not hoping that it won't happen.

He made a big mistake, but I'm sure he didn't mean for it to happen and take out the pole.
Fuck the pole.
Thank goodness he's alive and not on CBC Canada right now.

Great, lets not think about the consequences before doing something. Lets put your mentality to work.

A drunk driver made the mistake of drinking and driving. I'm sure he didn't meant to kill people on the street when he drove his vehicle intoxicated.
Fuck the people.
Thank goodness he's alive and not on CBC Canada right now.

Yes I understand this might be out of context because no one was injured in OP's accident. Put it back into retrospect, the drunk driver didn't injure anyone. Is it still OK to drive drunk? If it was, why do we currently have strict laws against drunk driving?

Why do you think ICBC is imposing +premiums for bad drivers? For the fun of it? Why should the OP not receive penalties for bad driving? Is that fair for the other bad drivers out there who have to pay $$$ for their mistakes? Is that fair for the safe drivers?

It's time to grow up, and be responsible for your actions, and be able to properly read/comprehend. As a result, you'll be able to formulate a proper opinion on your thoughts and be able to express them appropriately.

[InvisibleSoul]

How is it that people always spin out on that offramp. Its such a smooth corner...

Actually, it's not... there is very slight irregularity on the curve where the bridge section meets the other side... and this is where I think people might be losing it.

Doesn't take much if you're accelerating through the curve at speed for the rear wheels to break loose on a slight imperfection of the road...

You clearly have a stick up your ass all the time don't you? try taking it out, you will get better bowel movement. lol but that's okay judging from the way you talk, you try your best to sound intelligent lol. This is as irrelevant as your post above.

You sort of act like you never done anything stupid before and thats pretty silly. Like I said, I'm more than willing to bet the OP had a scare of his life and hopefully learned something. It isn't as nearly as big of a deal as what you typed out to prove a point, so shut the fuck up.

Night time.

At the end of the day, we all make mistakes. Stupid or not stupid we all did. Once or couple times. I scraped a pole and had my back fender dented when I still had my N. No one is perfect and no one should claim they are unless they are the retards that go 40km/h, paranoid as fuck, or don't drive on a daily basis.

Driving and fucking up a public property lightpole, okay fine, deem it as a mistake. Live and learn. Posting it online with a half-ass blurred license plate, that's not a mistake that's a fuck up, an EASILY AVOIDABLE fuck up.

OP you should know better, i'm jk that's asking too much.
OP went full retard, man, you never go full retard.

[BaoTurbo]

Full retard :lol
