308 km/h on the QEW

I say use the x amount of speed over the street racing speed limit as multiplier for the fine(s)

It's a good time to implement fine based on vehicle owner income. Every km/h over 50 is that percentage of your yearly income (in addition to the base fine). 52 over is 2% of the owners previous year income. 150 over is your entire previous years income as a fine. That rapidly puts a damper on your desire to do a high speed run when you can lose your parents entire income. There is already some precedence for you being responsible for the consequences when lending out your car, such as insurance or a red light camera ticket following the owner.

I know VW lets you set a max speed with the OBD port. The downside is it is a one way street, it can never be raised again once you turn it down. That being said, I have no problem locking down a car that my kid drives to a speed I don't intend on exceeding.

Lots of people already have. Especially on the 407. They just didnt pull over and get the ticket.

But if you don't get caught, a ticket, and on the news does it really count?

I only consider an outing successful if I get home without talking to police and/or being on the news.

Douggie weighed in. He's not happy. Not much he can do about the current case though. It is possible for him to add a new level to 172 for people that are really pushing it though. There is a big difference between 50 over and 208 over.

I think extending 172 in any way, shape or form is a terrible idea, plus this probably already qualifies for dangerous driving. I'm sure whoever is prosecuting this is going to have a good time, it is now a matter for the courts, we don't need more instant "justice"

I dislike any form of "instant" justice. I think all penalties should only apply after conviction. I have no problem if the hammer after conviction is much larger. He was in an 80,000+ car. Who cares if he got a 10,000 ticket (and I don't know if one has ever been handed out, most I have heard were plead down or in the rare chance they stuck, much closer to $1000 so completely inconsequential).

$1000 for the ticket isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things....but your insurer may have something to say about it to a much higher tune.

It was his parent's car so who did the mods? If my kid tricked out the family plod I would be ****** because it's the FAMILY car not his car. Unless there's some insurance fraud going on and it's really his car but registered to a parent.

If mommy and daddy can afford the car can they afford a lawyer that gets junior off?

If enough of these events happen another Fantino will come along and high performance vehicles will be outlawed for sale. No more R6s. No more performance enhancers.

I agree with the first part, not so much the second. I've known many people whose large af tickets have stuck. Insurance industry has the government in their pocket in this regard. no insurance is one of the biggest single tickets you can get, and always stick.

As a 19 year old, he can substantially dodge the insurance hit. It is viable for him to just avoid driving for a few years.

The idiot kid was driving an AMG Merc. This is on the parents all the way...

No he won't, he'll get a gentle talking to, and then they'll buy him a new one and get him on facility.

I think he's ready to graduate to a McLaren now, I saw his dad at the dealership putting a deposit on one for his birthday....

At least that would be a better choice. Better aero, better brakes and lighter so he causes slightly less damage when he inevitably plows into someone.

Luckily it will break down or burn down first.

Not entirely sure but I know the boom box needed to be taken out when mom needs to do a grocery run.

Kids! About 20 years ago, daughter is getting ready to go out, i got to answer the phone. Male voice asks if she is there. I ask who is calling, hangs up.5 min later, horn honks in the driveway, and phone rings again. Same thing. Horn honks again. I go out, kids in the Nissan Pathfinder says... Is she coming? I say, who are you? Would you like to wait inside? No man. Walking back to the house, i notice a sticker on the back window.
"Show us your tits... It's the law".
Back to the driver. I don't appreciate your humor re that sticker. Drivers says..."it's my mom's car"
Get the **** out of here, never come back.
Daughter didn't talk to me for about a month.
KIDS!!!

I wonder if he ever admitted to being dumped...... by his gf's dad?

I've never told her exactly what happened.But i do remember her saying that he was a jerk.When you open a can of worms like that with your children (when they are grown up) they start telling you stuff that was best locked up.

So did she still date him for that month that she did not talk to you?
