Never said no one does 80 I do it a lot of the time but should I get charged for doing 100 on open highway? You wouldn't believe the number of cars or vans that pass you like you as if you are at a stand still even when doing 100, you saying I should get charged the same as the dude doing 130?

The law it what it is. It's either you obey it or you don't. You can't *kinda* break a set speed limit.
So yes, 100km/h should carry the same fine as 130km/h.

[MG Man]

Les Bain, that was in '03

and why don;t they deal with these tuntuns?

^^^ not disagreeing just don't like it

[sliderz1]

they dont, they block the entire roadway when they crawl sideways on the hump and more vex than you if you try to pass

[shake d livin wake d dead]

dem fellas does take pride in forking up bumpers,tips,etc etc

[pete]

If I rememeber correctly, there was a time when they were charging people with nitrous for using "unauthorised fuel" or something so. I'm not sure what came of that but I know the discussion here was around Nitrous being the oxidising agent and not the fuel etc.

Best advice.. if you using it to race legally wherever, take it out when you're driving your car on the road.

i disagree

in miami they charge you a fine based on how much over the speed limit you are

not sure exactly what the price difference is but i think for every 10 miles above the speed limit, theres a different fine

i think at around 120-130 mph the fine is 500-600 USD

that would make sense

set speed limit at 100 km on highway and fine
$1000 for 101-110 km
$2000 for 111-120 km
$3000 for 121-130 km

etc

[moving]

thanks pete.. i always wondered..

most times the tank full.
but even if my tank empty.. i leave it in the car all the time

always told myself if the police stopped me in a road block, i would just tell him its 2013 technology for efficiency or something so..

then enforcement will need radar guns, training and a service unit we have those?

MP’s TWO SONS HURT IN DRAG CRASH
Susan Boodram Monday, July 28 2003


ELEVEN youths, including two sons of a Member of Parliament, were injured when a car illegally drag racing ploughed into a group of persons in San Fernando early yesterday morning.

According to police reports, the crash occurred around 1am while a group of almost 100 spectators crowded the pavements along the Rienzi Kirton Highway and Cipero Street. Reports said a 19-year-old was driving a silver-grey Honda Civic when he lost control at the traffic light intersection near Skinner Park, where he ploughed into the spectators. Of the eleven injured, the most critically injured was Arun Ramdeen, 14, who was with UNC MP Chandresh Sharma’s two sons, Moonish, 13, and Devaan, ten, watching the racing. Also on the injured list were three brothers, Kerry Warner, 20; Kendell, 13; and Kirk, nine, all of Caratal Road, Gasparillo. They received injuries to their arms and legs and are warded in stable condition. Police have detained the driver of the drag racing car and expect to charge him with a series of driving offences, including ten counts of dangerous driving.

Ramdeen, of St John’s Trace, Avocat Village, Fyzabad is a close friend of the Sharmas. He suffered massive head injuries and is fighting for his life at the Intensive Care Unit of the San Fernando General Hospital (SFGH). Little Devaan, witnesses said, was pitched into the air and landed in the sun-roof of the car. He escaped serious injury, with bruises and abrasions about his right eye, but is being kept at Ward 5 at SFGH. Newsday spoke to Fyzabad MP Sharma yesterday at the San Fernando Hospital. He came straight from Piarco Airport saying he had cut short his attendance at a conference in New Jersey, United States to return to his sons’ bedside. Sharma told Newsday: “It was about two in the morning when I got the call. I just immediately started packing and booked the first flight home.” His wife, Lynn, was on vacation in Canada and was due to return last night. The MP said he would be spending the night at the hospital. His sons’ cousin, Rajendra Sharma, 16, who was with Moonish and Devaan looking on at the illegal racing, said the three were at the Quik Shoppe at Cross Crossing with an older relative, Rudradeva, who went to fill gas in his car. While Rajendra was paying at the cashier, the boys slipped away and crossed the busy intersection to watch the races.

Rajendra recalled that shortly before the accident the driver was showing off in the road. “He (the driver) made a 180-degree turn and was flaunting his car,” Rajendra said. Newsday learned that the three Warner brothers went out to purchase barbeque and stopped for the first time to spectate the drag racing. Eyewitness Larry Lall recalled feeling “empty” when he saw the car lose control and “bodies flying in the air.” Lall said: “It was the worst thing I ever saw. Everybody just rush to see what going on and I tried to tell them to move away to give them (injured) some room to breathe.” Lall said a driver of a pick-up van put three persons in tray and rushed them to hospital. Another eyewitness, Sean Sookraj, recalled: “Everyone was standing around when he (the driver) ‘geared up’. The car just jumped onto the pavement. Everybody start to run and a lot of people got little lashes.” Eyewitnesses said that upon impact Ramdeen was pitched some ten feet into the air then crashed to the ground. Within 15 minutes the police and ambulance arrived on the scene. Cpl Anthony Wolfe and PC Bishop of the San Fernando Traffic Branch are leading police investigations.

UNC was in Opposition, from the article it appears that the children were at fault along with their guardian.

Saw it on Facebook.. Zorce posted it up..

[nemisis]

reckless driving is a problem that needs to be targeted. They should however start with police using their sirens to duck or cut in on traffic for no reason as well as all those ministry vehicles that cut in without looking.

[zodiaque]

Yay me, and my painfully stock cars
(although, they like to pull me over)

[MG Man]

*cough* weber *cough*

Shhhhh!!

link to this ched get posted in the dhanraj group yes

[neoise]

To quote a friend of mine on FB - Guns and "souped-up" cars kill people. Not the idiots controlling them.

[j.o.e]

Start with cleaning up licensing. if licensing was clean there would probably be 30% less cars on the road because many are there illegally.
Put in place a new license plate sytem with the plate registered to the owner as opposed to the vehicle to allow faster tracing,ticketing etc
Put in a "points system" for traffic offenders.
Then have a serious drive to properly enact the laws in reference to inspections. Change the system so that the inspection process is left to a public entity instead of a large number of garages basically selling stickers.
Improve quality of surfaces,markings,signs on all major roads (the gov't must do their part in road safety)
There needs to be a holistic approach instead of knee jerk reactions

[zodiaque]

What exactly is the definition of modified? If someone has a cold air intake, for eg., is that modified?

Before this goes into action, there should be strict guidelines. These guidelines should be published.

[ruff neck chicken]

FS 180hp modified/souped up corolla fogs included

WTB 305hp stock from the factory subaru impreza wrx sti

[~*Pãñdorą*~]

*raises hand in the air*

Uhmmm question..

So a car that was once an automatic 2.0 but changed to manual 2.2 is considered a modification?
