#1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge - Guelph - View Single Post - Legislation Passes Targeting Drunk Drivers And Street Racers

**crxforum** · 06-01-2007, 11:25 AM

Im not sure how anyone in the public can not have a problem with this. Essentially it gives officers a carte blanche to do whatever they want, impound cars when they want, take cars off the road whenever they want, charge you for nothing and pull you over for nothing.

Im a good driver. No tickets on anything except for a license plate in the window ticket. All other tickets Ive got were from misinformed officers, understandably doing what they thought was right, and was let off due to that. Quick example: Modified exhaust ticket on a stock exhaust and they thought I was another vehicle. The fact that I now have to drive in fear of someone else doing something stupid and me somehow getting in trouble for it really irritates me.

How many people are going to see this thread and threads like it? Maybe 500 or so. What about the rest of the boy racers and grandpa racers I see everyday on the roads? The ones who pull up to me in their mommy's car and want to race. Or the ones who pull up to me in their fully restored hot rods trying to put a shitty import in its place. What about those people? Those people are the ones who are going to get my car impounded. They speed match me on the highway, honk their horns to get my attention, do flybys, and a million other things. Am I going to get in shit because Im in the area of this going on?

What about meeting at a place like Tim Hortons and some jerkoff doing a burnout. Am I going to get my car impounded because of him? I was in Brampton Wednesday night to see a friend. He asked me if I wanted to go to "The Lot" to see some local cars there. 3/4 of the cars there were doing burn outs, flying through the lot going 80kmph or more, and other things. This also included a mid 90s Ferrari. So its all not just little kids being dumb.

If Im going the same speed as a Dodge Ram on the highway. Does that mean Im street racing Big Jeff? If Im beisde EF9 at the lights and I speed up to the speed limit faster than normal to make the next light in time, does that mean Im street racing his Jeep? If I accidently get stuck at a set of lights and right after those lights my lane ends and I have to merge and I speed up to get around the first slow moving Geo Metro does that mean I was street racing him? See what I mean here? There are so many ways for them to pull you over now. For people who say "Police dont discriminate" or something to that extent I know that they do. Ive only ever been pulled over in my import cars. Never in any of my American cars. Ive only been tailed in my import cars, never in my American.

I doubt any police are going to be reading this. But I hope that they are so that they can see the concern and frusteration of a good import driver like myself. I dont want to be caught in the middle of mumbo jumbo because of some sort of legal paperwork to make it look like this legislation is working.
