Civics in the News

I saw this article on the local news site this morning. I wonder if he is a forum member.

I'm guessing a 20 year old might have a hard time getting insurance after these charges. There might be a white Si for sale around here soon.

Dragos is around that area... not sure who else is around Ottawa off hand.

Wow, doing that at 11 pm is not very smart... actually not too smart at any hour. In that area i have seen many times cop cars waiting for the unaware speeding driver. Good thing they did not get caught doing it in Ontario, that would have been even harsher for them....

To be honest there are some places one can really go at it, not gonna go in details, but that area is most definitely not one of them.

Since spring has sprung ( ) lots of speeding news for all makes and many times two cars racing on some highway at odd hours in the night.

This guy was doing 216 in a 100 km zone, in a beamer.

Yes, this was right at the exit by my place. Not a good spot to speed any time of the day. Always a speed trap right there. It's no wonder Civic insurance rates are so high here.

Hey, what's the point of having fast car if you are not going to drive fast.

 

[webby]

you can take it to a track

 

[Dragos]

Or you can drive it in the speed limit. Slow in the straights fast in the bends.
