Do the crime......do the time.

the Royal Canadian Mounted Police revealed that they had not prosecuted a single driver as the only evidence available was witness testimony.
And these witnesses are stupid? Come on. I sure as hell know street-racing when I see it. I knew it as far back as the second-grade.

Yes is an early model normal GTB, that was driven by that teenage girl that got the most traffic violations.

She is probably driving a GTO now Or a SA Aparta.............my favorite barchetta today.

Yes 23. The article didn't go into that kind of details, but I am sure is just a bachelor degree. I am sure his dad is just happy that he finished college. I don't think he is a genius hard working kid. He is just not rotten like most billionaire's kids.

I am guessing he got a business degree. As his dad is a business man and now this kid runs a huge used car store like carmax in Hong Kong. His dad funded it of course. I forgot the name of the store.

Sounds like the kid is a good guy though, he is not obnoxious. He just love cars and his dad is a billionaire.

Yes street racing is pretty obvious if there are 13 500~600 hp cars at WOT.

i guess so, except me honestly can't see what's the big deal on that. getting a bachelor degree is no rocket science these days anymore with the flux of college. but of course, not taking credit away from him, like you said a lot of kids with rich parents they don't know what school is

hahaa but you gotta love laws. i don't think any of us are "trained" or "certified" to decide what street racing is. it's just our "perceptions"

For a billionaire's kid that absolutely don't have to do a single thing in life, any kind of obligations that is not fun is lame, getting a bachelor degree is a huge deal

Like mmarshall said, sometimes it is pretty obvious, when 2+ cars going down the street WOT at 2x, 3x or 4x the speed limit using all available lanes................
