Too many dumb kiddies on the road.....it's good that they caught the bastard.

But:

Ramgobin, of Dyers Village, Hardbargain, Williamsville, raced off when police officers pulled in front of his vehicle. He led them in a “drag race” through the streets of San Fernando, onto Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway, then into Gasparillo where he was apprehended

lolwut?

how can he be charged with "drag racing"
who was he racing????
burnout??? is there even a law on that.....

Correct...media dotishness again.

guy prob got caught because of a high milage shift knob

[16 cycles]

what were they trying??

how to fill up in kfc car park

on one night - ttps car and bike - questioning ppl parked on the either side of the shoulder and sending them home

on another - ttps van parked - many 'fast' cars passed around but seeing police - they left and went somewhere else....

if you know drags starting up - report it...

surprised inshan ain't have this on camera yet - seeing that its his 'backyard'

[X2Board]

The media always reports street racing using wrong terminology / and exaggerted hollywood style description.

In this case, they can say it anyway they want because the 20 year old dhalgootnie was indeed driving like ah capital ass and deserves all the punishment meted out to him.

We should not be bashing the media reports on spinnin tyres outta control ,and leading police thru sando in a drag race.no more than if they were reporting on his fashion sense
Personally I glad the judge sort him out & I waitin for Volney to say we goin to crush the bokslansah and string it up on the cross as a warnin to all who rightfoot scratchin

f'real yo...high mileage shift knobs can make u lose power

[cacasplat3]

oh and BTW, SR, there's no law against "street racing" per se, but there is a law against "trials of speed on a public roadway"...somebody quote the MVRTA fuh mih nuh

63. (1) Any person who, except under and in accordance with the written permission of the Commissioner of Police, promotes or takes part in a race or trial of speed between motor vehicles on a road shall be liable to a fine of two thousand dollars and to imprisonment for six months.

(2) A person convicted of an offence under this section shall, unless the Court for special reasons thinks fit to order otherwise and without prejudice to the power of the Court to order a longer period of disqualification, be disqualified for a period of twelve months from the date of the conviction from holding or obtaining a driving permit.

if he had just pull aside and take a lil rough up, get a ticket or a summons......things may have been a lot different............what a dumbass

[wagonrunner]

guy prob got caught because of a high milage shift knob

doubt he'd have properly balanced lug nuts.

i wonder if KaleCoAuto has a trini consultant / distributor? their stock needs updating.

[lostboys crew]

If he want to outrun and out gun the popo he have to invest in one of these.

[tr1ad]

ah jess do ah conversion an d knob ha 95000km on it

whe i could get ah replacement

[Hook]

You could prolly order it online, barring that, you'll hafta browse the bamboo for a front cut with less miles on it and slip the guy a small money for the knob without telling him why u want THAT particular one

[cacasplat3]

he prob thought he could get away like this guy......


guy runs through 6 gears and the popo hasn't even turned around yet......

[Hook]

That bike doesn't carry a police scanner...doesn't take a lot of effort to catch them

bike < roadblock

[cacasplat3]

true...........but he has a better chance at an early escape because of speed and size.............

say wah...........if doing assness and get caught.........why run? it increases the chances of making things get really bad in a short space of time............take a few clout and a ticket, and mellow...........better than loosing yur license, money, or even yur life..........

[Mercenary]

like he sell it to pay?

[sparky]

I do not think that guy was drag racing, he was doing a burn out for the crowd when the police showed up, he panic and ran because of no insurance.

you cant DRAG race on a street
you can street race tho
i still say good for him should lock his arse up if his arseness had caused him to damage my woman or family and he has no insurance whats my recourse?

[sparky]

Do not attend illegal street drag racing events, simple. There are many hypocrites on tunner when it comes to drag racing

[cinco]

emm i dont...

[Infamous]

Somehow I don't see all of this punishment keeping this particular kant of the roads. As long as the car is still in his possession, he will most likely be driving again soon...permit or no permit, insurance or no insurance.

That being said, good job by the police and the magistrate.
