don’t they keep trying to do the same thing here in Ontario and every year the import car scene just gets bigger and bigger? all i know is it’s been quiet in the gta for the past few years with crack downs. all the crack downs were going on when people kept crashing and killing people by street racing. ---

This is mainly the result of a zero-tolerance policy, based on the much-advertised claim that SPEED KILLS, which is largely disproven by the fact that the vast majority of the 1.3 million people booked for speeding in the past year are still alive. > > The Victorian cameras will automatically post you a fine if you exceed the limit by even the most piddling amount. Doing 39 mph in our 37-mph (60 km/h) zones is enough to get you booked. Thanks to a \*system of demerit points for each fine, thousands of residents lose their licenses each year after just a few extremely minor, unintentional infractions. The result is that driving in Victoria is like negotiating a clogged bowel. Everyone is paranoid about watching their speedometers, no one is game to overtake, and people who own high-powered cars are either escorted to the border or shot on sight. ---

I had a good laugh about them complaining about the noise level from that Holden. The clip of it pulling away wasn’t even loud. ---

If it ever came to this is NYS (they would NEVER do that…right??..) I think I would just give up. Take my license away and let me be one with the trees. ---
