there's much to be discussed at the court here. A mis-calibrated instrument (like the radar gun) should easily throw out a case like this. But if the car is towed then wtf.
That's like having someone weigh your weed with an inaccurate scale and say that you just went over the threshold of personal consumption - hence criminal offense.
Then you get into a lawsuit and still get dinged for legal fees. No it does not work that way IRL if I can prove that your damn scale is useless.

ok
yes this law will curb speeding
but it doesnt fix one big issue I have with our roadway system
there are spots in which the speed drops by 20km. Cops will set up traps right where it switches
and depending on time of day and how everyone is driving, yo are almost 90% sure to get dinged
say.. hwy99 northbound south end of massey tunnel. it goes from 100-80 within a 40m stretch..probably less. most cars will have hit maybe 85-95 depending on how fast you approach it. thats speeding already, albeit not to the extent of the new law
or say upperlevels headin back into vancouver. the downhill section, radar at the bottom of the hill, your going speed limit, but the car behind ya is tailgating, in most cases, becuz its a downhill, you will drive a bit faster to avoid an accident, in which you see a cop wave you down cuz u were speeding to protect your own ass. The car behind you might be a beater or an unskilled driver..or jsut someone in a hurry that might make a mistake and rearend you

haha, there's so much hate in this thread... everybody just complains about the city, the province, the government. If you really feel so strongly against it, write to your MLA. Or if he doesn't do anything, then vote for another one during election time.

So now it's not enough to just fine someone and raise your insurance, they want to withhold your property and make you pay for the impound fees too? What's next, they come to your house and take your TV and fridge too? I don't care what the logic is behind that.... it SUCKS. 
Leave peoples property alone. | I know you're a moderator, yet come on! Of course you don't care about logic, cause your post has none.
When you commit a crime they take the property used to commit it. Like I've pointed out, if you want higher speed limits that means greater driver education, and also stricter enforcement of those limits.
So you can have no speed limit on the S2S, yet like the Autobahn, when there is a speed limit you better obey it or risk stiffer penalties.
Then again, that's based on logic, which has just about been thrown out of this thread.

Usually I'm pro whatever law change (especially the phone ban while driving) but this one I don't see eye to eye with.
40km over is not only exceeding, but also dangerous to do so in the city. However on a highway with lots of space around is not too bad IMO.
I guess we'll never get an autobahn here lol Posted via RS Mobile | |

I don't care what the logic is, and we are definitely not talking about a firearm being used to commit a crime here; to have the right to take and withhold someones property for going 150km/h in a 110km/h zone at 4 in the morning with no one around is bs.
Like I said in my original post, what's next then? They come and take your TV and fridge too? It's not right.
I know there's the deterrent perspective, but that's what traffic violation tickets are for.

Flame baiting and purposeful provoking in the general forums will be treated equally as flaming. Like Yaminshi stated, if you have a problem with a certain user, move it to fight club.
Thank you

For someone who is reporting anyone and everyone they can, it's hypocritical of you to attack the linguistic skills of those opposed to this law and call those people stupid.
And really, the inability to put together a sentence does not mean that person's voice or opinion has any less weight than yours.
Just because you can put a sentence together doesn't mean you know what the fuck you're talking about.
