I received an email this morning linking me to this article on the Wheels web site that was stating “Drivers stunned by new speeding law” in Ontario.

I witnessed my first case where I seen someone pulled over, who looked to be about 55 - 60 years old with his wife. The cop was clearly writing up a ticket, and a tow truck was taking away his Nissan SUV. Actually, he had TWO cops talking to him. Stunned by the age of the person getting their vehicle seized? I’m not.

I knew this would happen when the “Street Racing” law was put in place. While the article states the most common age of the person caught is 21. The average is at 30! Meaning as much as the 21 year olds are getting caught, there a lot of people over 50 getting caught.

Street racing won’t get stopped by this law, but I’m glad they are enforcing it to all vehicles and not stereotyping cars that “fit the bill”.

It’s definately worth the read on the Wheels Web Site:

One last note, that I found interesting was this quote:

Looks like they have officers out specifically looking for this! It definately brings in a nice fat amount of money due to violations.
