Online Forum Speeding Boast Leads To Conviction

Posted by Soulskill on from the life-in-the-fast-lane dept.

Meshach writes "In Canada, a nineteen-year-old man has lost his driving license for six months and is facing one year of probation after the police arrested him for dangerous driving as a result of a post on an online message board. The tip apparently came from an uninvolved American who called the Canadian authorities after he saw the post bragging about how fast the man went."

    I am here telling you guys that my car was traveling at 299,792,459 m/s along the I80 free way, it only took me 1/10,000th of a second to reach my destination though so nobody else saw.

      Too bad that in your 1/10,000th of a second, the rest of the world aged 1,000 years, so nobody you knew was around to brag to.

    I just drove 230mph through a school zone, hit 3 children without stopping at the scene of the accident, failed to use my turn signal while driving the wrong way down the road with expired tabs and a burnt out tailight after drinking 13 long island iced teas!
