A 27-year-old man is facing several charges after police observed a vehicle traveling 134 km/h over the speed limit on Highway 174 in Ottawa’s east end.
edit: vroom vroom
The stunt driving charge includes a 30-day licence suspension and the vehicle is impounded for 14 days.
Driving dangerously fast and endangering the lives of other drivers and then flees from the cops and is still allowed to drive after a month?
There is something seriously wrong here.
The 30-day suspension is at roadside. There’s a court hearing which can hand down a longer one on conviction.
Freedom Unit conversion:
Speed Limit on Highway 174: 62.14 mi/h
Car Speed: 145.4 mi/h
That by itself means nothing to me.
What made me realize. How fast that is, is that it’s halfway to the top speed of a veyron SS
Silly @Frog@Lemmy.ca
They forgot that US highway speed units are measured as a ratio of a veyron SS’s top speed. For those that don’t know, that’s 7.37 billion bald eagle wingspans per presidential term.
What’s that in football fields per commercial break (brought to you by Carl’s Jr™)?
When translated to American, it’s honestly not that impressive anymore. 🤷
WTF is this doing on the fediverse lol jfc
Let’s do local crime next 🤡
Local opinion: these guys after a certain point (n + x km/h, maybe 40km/h, idk) need to have that car turned into a 1m x 1m cube. They’re not going to learn and they won’t stop driving with a ban. A 14 day suspension is nothing to these clowns and really driving is a privilege not a right.
