The Vancouver men, 21 and 22, were stopped by North Vancouver RCMP Saturday when officers spotted them racing on a road popular among hikers, outdoor enthusiasts and families. Several motorists called in a dangerous driving complaints at 10:45 a.m. Moments later, the officer was stunned to see a sky blue Ferrari Scuderia streak past him, pursued closely by a BMW. They were forced to slow down as they approached a parking lot, allowing police to catch up. "They were penalized under the street-racing laws," said Cpl. Peter DeVries, spokesman for the detachment. "I think we probably saved their lives, if nothing else." Both men were handed close to $1,000 in fines and automatically lost their licences and vehicles for seven days. The man driving the Ferrari had been behind the wheel of the supercar — valued at $400,000 — for only a day before watching it loaded onto the back of the impound truck.

$1000 fine is a drop in the bucket for someone with a $400,000+ vehicle. Title: Re: Well that'll teach'em!!!

What fun are tracks when you can do some illegal street racing? Its like an obstacle course with pedestrians, potholes, the works!! They probably met at a traffic light...exchanged "the look"...and away they went.... Oh wait, its the cops, looks like we will have to wait for them to catch up - LOL. |
