Minimum one year ban and unlimited fine? Yikes!
If I ever move there, I'll be sure to get myself a 250 so that it would be difficult (not impossible) to get myself in that much trouble haha.

Police over there DO NOT have the same mentality as they do here. That is the major difference.
They don't enforce speeding laws? You're deluded.
That's not what he said. Nice try.
I'm sorry..I thought we were all contributing with absurd arguments...I just thought I'd join in. This game is fun, why are you annoyed...stop whining.
That's how ZX600 summarized me back when I was a mod.. haha
How so..?
They tend to take a hard line when it comes to road-crimes.
IE.. if caught with no insurance.. it's not just a $5k fine as it is over here. They seize the vehicle and crush it, along with whatever fine and driving ban is imposed. They've got the electronic licence plate reading system to pick off offenders left and right, to boot.
The speed radar cameras are also as thick as flies.
Care to back that up? I'll give you a hint, every time you try I'll present you with something to counter your argument having lived there for quite a while.
Knowledge is power...ignorance is bliss.
I bless your bliss. Amen.
Because killing someone is a crime and it can be deemed your fault if you were driving in such a way that doesn't take the rest of the public's health and safety into consideration.
Look up criminal negligence. It can be tacked on to your traffic charges if you happened to kill someone "accidentally" while excessively speeding.
Hmm.. i'm thinking that this poor chap would beg to differ... he had a few more mitigating road-crime factors involved, but similar speeding situation.

Under UK knife-crime laws, that's actually a pretty serious charge to have a knife in the glove-box...

I know. Calm down.
You were simply asking how speeding could be compared to a criminal offence, and I answered.
Geez. I rode with you before on a group ride and you seemed like an ok guy, but if your posts here are your true colors, I misjudged.

Y'all are bringing up some dumb *** ****! first off you are now talking about doing wheelies (me, I don't see an issue as long as you are doing in with respect, meaning on a desolate road). You are bringing robbery into the argument, and other felonies... Im done... the stupidity hit a cap for me.
Not the way i see it. You made some erroneous assertons, and the sources that i've quoted back at ya prove you quite wrong. Your general responses in this thread? Insults, eThuggary, and now, taking your ball and going home. Who got trolled now, son?
Bye!
Yes, I remember reading about that. Although the point remains: an act that hasn't happened (although could have) is not a crime. If someone speeds, but doesn't kill anyone, then it's "dangerous" at worst. Speeding in itself does not automatically imply endangerment of life, (although it could be done in a dangerous way). Throwing this "special case" of speeding into a general discussion is a poor attempt at verbal manipulation and "appeal to emotion".

I may be gone from this thread but I aint far... see ya in the next one!
I know in some US states the speeds are more reasonable compare to Ontario. But in any case, regardless of speed on our roads or other issues, I find that Ontario is backwards in many ways. It's no surprising that people on other parts of the word are way ahead of us.
