Police charge 85-year old Ontario man for street racing.
An 85 year old man was charged for street racing when he was stopped on highway 407 going 161 km/h. That is 61 km over the legal speed limit of 100 km/h.
"Under new provincial legislation, billed last year by OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino as a "shock and awe" campaign, drivers who exceed the speed limit by 50 km/h or more stand to lose both vehicle and licence for one week, along with a fine of at least $2,000."

"During the initial blitz, police caught a 23-year-old motorcyclist from Ajax, Ont., speeding at 210 km/h, and a driver near Cornwall, Ont., who was travelling at 230 km/h."
Wow that is fast! Now can you imagine if this guy crashed? He would be killed and so would others!
No one is saying don't speed....But c'mon...we live in Ontario, Canada and not Germany. Our highways are NOT the autobahn....if you speed like a maniac on these highways not only do you risk your life, but the lives of innocent other people who were driving to work or wherever, only to have a moron driving at 230 km/h crash into them!
Our highways are NOT a RaceTrack!
I know this is essentially a glorified parking ticket but there are principles here. I'd really appreciate some input into this one.
Westbound Lakeshore at York under the Expressway at 3 PM though from the dark photo you would think it was 3 AM.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.
I can hardly read the ticket, can…

They are going to have problems with outstanding radar tickets and hopefully will switch to LIDAR.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
Hey,
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Do I have a case…
Hello everyone,
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
