"Man, 85, charged with street racing"
Police say her drove 161 km/h, is oldest person charged under new road rules
i think the OPP should come up with a different name for this offense... right now, anyone caught driving 50 km/h over the limit can be charged with street racing. but rarely are those who aqre nabbed actually racing - they're just speeding.
i'm down with the licence suspension and car impoundment but when you hear about a soccer mom in a hurry or a "very nice old gentleman" getting charged with street racing, it just sounds ludicrious! call it "speeding in excess" or something... whenever i hear the term "street racing" all i can think about it The Fast and the Furious, or 2 Fast 2 Furious, or The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift which were all completely riduclious movies... let's hope that "street racing" ends up on one of those lists of banned words/phrases...
