Hopefully the police charge this guy, he’s going to kill somebody if he isn’t taken off of the road.

I see my first comment was removed. Sorry for the foul language. This kid is a dangerous driver and needs to be removed from the roads. If the police are visiting this site, please ask this kid about the time he drifted that car around the corner at the corner of Massey and Ospika and smashed into the curb. That time he managed to get away before the police/fire got there. This kid does not deserve to be on the roads; I think he still even has his “N”. I have seen this guy come so close to hurting so many people on multiple occasions. Do NOT allow him to drive!

I seen this car yesterday on my way home from work. Must have been just before he crashed he was going up Domano infront of the new Original joe’s. he had to been doing 120 km/h

If you have seen this guy several times why didn’t you report him or at least put it on crime stoppers.

If there was something that would ‘stick’ when reported I may have reported him. Unfortunately, going around revving your engine, speeding around corners, and generally driving like a jerk are not ‘reportable’ offenses that the police ‘investigate’ unless they actually witness it. Either way, today is a good day; karma came knocking on his door!

Doesn’t a race involve more than 1 vehicle???

Come close to hurting people on multiple occasions,smashing into curb,N license and not reportable?I must be missing something here.

Just curious – assuming he has collision coverage, will ICBC pay out if the charges stick?

Doubt it. Cops impounded a totaled 10 year old Honda.

I do not understand why the police are not out on that drag strip from HWY 16 or O’Grady going towards Trent on Domano.

When sitting on the patio at Starbucks there in the summer, the umber of these dragsters with engines going full bore and loud mufflers, and especially the motorbikes, one just has to station themselves at the Moriarty St intersection and many are likely doing 30kph over the speed limit at that time.

The noise is so loud that one cannot hear oneself think, let alone have a reasonable conversation with anyone.

A race against the clock ….

Another known to police I bet.

Sorry junior your medical insurance and car insurance is void because you aren’t covered when you are charged with dangerous driving. So pay up. Too bad that wasn’t true.

Thank goodness no one else was hurt.

Part 2
Oh you aren’t a Canadian citizen? Bye bye, have a nice boat ride home!

Nice to see that car destroyed, I’ve seen him racing around College Heights a few times lately.

Karma at work, he lost the car, got charged and is going to have to pay for the damages to that pole.

Hopefully the cost of the damage is high enough to keep this clown from buying another car for a very long time.

Those wheels are ridiculous. Look the part, be the part, I guess.

Glad that’s a pole the car is wrapped around and not someone’s loved one.

Maybe his parents will buy him another car and insure it for him. I’m sure they think he’s a good boy who just made a silly mistake.

I see by the large amount of posts here many of you are bitching about street racers on certain streets and saying why arent the police out there stopping them. For one the police need to know about it which means someone has to call them however if they aren’t called they can do nothing so if you see racers its up to you to call the police and if you don’t call then don’t bitch cause the police aren’t doing anything. Don’t rely on someone else to call if you see a vehicle driving in an unsafe manner and don’t report it then in my opinion your just as guilty as the bad driver.

“Sorry junior your medical insurance and car insurance is void…”

I’m sure ICBC is not going to insure him for a while and if it does it will cost 5 grand a year. About the medical insurance: He and his pal will be looked after for free because it was just an accident.

Hey Dearth, good post!

What people need to understand is that it is the driver that makes it unsafe, not the act.

The VAST (VAST) number of accidents on the road comes from negligence from normal drivers, not street racers or people with loud exhausts. I have several friends and family members that have been struck and all of them from distracted drivers tapping away at their cell phones, eating a hamburger, or simply not paying the road due diligence. Two of culprits were elderly.

Speeding is not the leading cause of vehicle accidents; it’s distraction. After that is driver fatigue.

What do Ospika and Domano have in common?

In the last year or so the local government hired a contractor to redo the top layer of pavement that covered up the Potential Overspeed Traps (aka POT holes) that are placed with much thought on most streets through out the city, they control speed and keep alignment shops busy.

The city is at least partially liable for a vehicle approaching and even exceeding the speed limit!

Give the kid a current bus schedule each year for the next five years. That oughta learn him.

“What do Ospika and Domano have in common?”

No police speed traps …..

There was one of those signs that reads out the speed of oncoming traffic on Ospika. I understand that is the first step in enforement these days.

The police know exactly where these places are. They need no one to call in because they are so common. There are enough RCMP using the Starbucks on Domano to know what is going on.

Even without that, one of the first things police have to do is become familiar with the different parts of town, the same as fire engines going around town to check the community.

Some people call them familiarization tours or fam tours…. :-)

Hey, I always see street person lurking in the alleys off 3rd. …….

Do I have to call that in?

Of course not. Police are familar with that and act accordingly with patrols.

===================================
I hear noises next door and I know my neighbours are gone for a week ….. should I call that in?

Of course, because it is unusual.

The Domano dragstrip on nice evenings and weekends is not unusual.

I would not worry about the so called hydro pole. That is a high tension tower with a very heavy steel structure slipped over a very large and solid concrete base.

It is designed to withstand that kind of crash, as it did. To not do so would be dangerous.

It is not one of those flimsy poles suppoting traffic signals.

What those poles actually should have is some sort of impact absorption material so that people are not killed at high impact.

How can it be called street racing if there was no other car involved?
Sometimes the police take it too far. Not that I condone what the driver did, Police are still to follow the law with out prejudiced or allowing their opinions or emotions getting in the way of doing their job. Like I always say, BC is Canada’s newest police state

This vehicle has been seen driving this way around PG for quite some time. He is not alone.

Speed doesn’t kill, idiots that speed kill.

Street racing can also be charged to one car, you are then racing with the greatest partner….the clock. I’ve seen this D-bag a few times. He’s scared the excrement out of me a few times. Hopefully his license is gone for a good bit, or at least long enough that mommy will be tired of driving his stupid butt around.

Speed rarely kills, it’s the rapid deceleration that kills…:)

That car’s not so fast, it’s flashy but hasn’t had very many performance modifications.

Looks like a potential write-off, knowing icbc.

“Knowing ICBC”? What’s there to know? If the repairs are more than book value it goes in the junk pile. That’s pretty standard, ICBC or not.

how about this for a headline:
Tackily modified Japanese sedan* at speed meets immovable object.
*Honda with a fart can.

ICBC has nothing to do with it at all, If the street racing charges stick he won’t be getting that car back period. It will be put up for auction.

Did it have one of those large “soup-can” mufflers? By the looks of those wide radius wheels and short sidewall tires he slalomed around our pot holes, betcha.

Type R can never lose! Oh wait…

PG’s version of “The Fast and The Furious (wannabe edition)”.

I keep looking at the picture and chuckling. Don’t get me wrong, im happy that he wasn’t killed or injured really bad. I keep thinking that just looks like a overly accesoried Chevy cavalier. No real style or performance there. He’s gonna look great if he was to pimp his new ride…a bike! I’m sure sportchek has some on sale. But even there you have to sign a waiver stating that they aren’t responsible for your dumb ass antics.

This meatstick of misery travels all over CH, and has been for awhile now, bending driving rules to the max…If he is still driving with an N, where the hell are his parents?, Maybe they should have to foot the bill????? LOL metalman, but dont place all Honda drivers in the same boat, my car is wicked lol

Only meant the obnoxious drivers of Hondas equipped with fart cans. The derision is actually reserved for said driver. Personally I still believe there is no replacement for displacement and high lift camshafts, but I respect the legitimate builders of high performance four cylinder cars.
