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."

      The road is not a race track.

      And the whole world is not your damn jurisdiction for dealing out justice willy nilly, then fucking off and letting everyone else clean up your shit.

      BURN!

      My bad. I thought of Ohio while answering and _still_ thought of Ohio until I re-read his posting.

      > What about camp or daycare? The elementary schools in the district also have daycare and summer classes. They also have classes for the mentally handicapped over the summer.

      OK, can we just say that I know my local area better than you? I know, this might stretch things very far as this is /., but things are starting to get ridiculous.

      You're getting very defensive when all I am doing is being inquisitive in a non-malicious manner. I'm merely trying to make sure that you realize the implications of speeding in a school zone when there may or may not be kids present. Rule of thumb should be as long as that sign is flashing you should slow down.

      Don't chance the life of another just because you are in a hurry. It's irresponsible.

    So, you're from England and you're measuring everything in miles? What are you, 120 years old?
