Ontario's new 'Street Racing' laws

[dapaterson]

All you would be speeders out there use me as an example. It ain't worth it. Never was, but especially so now.

..............and I think the point has been made. With no need to continue we can shut this one down, with the usual caveats.

I have received an update from Piper that he would like posted. Here it is:

My court date has come and gone and I got my charge 'changed', esentially. Instead of being charged under HTA 172(1) (that new street racing act) I'll be getting a straight speeding ticket as if I got caught before HTA 172(1). So, it's a way smaller fine, no further suspension but still 6 demerit points. Lesson learned. Wouldn't say I got off lucky, but I think it's a fair turn of events....considering I have no priors and this law isn't targeting the people it was originally meant to (street racers). Personal opinions about this law aside, let my example stand as a lesson to everyone. Keep your speed down on the highways, lest you want to help fund your local towing company and the provincial coffers.
