Buh bye license

How does what you mention connect to the charges of causing death or bodily harm as outlined in ZTW's post?

Accidents happen, but you would obviously have to first hurt someone pretty badly with your car before you even have to worry about those charges.

If you killed someone with your car, you should be a lot more concerned about how your driving killed another human over how the cop sees it. Deaths by street racing are pretty cut and dry.

I don't think the death of any recent 'street racing deaths' could have been classified as innocent accidents causing death.

I wish I could explain myself better sometimes. I understand what he posted, and I understand that the judge will use the current law to do his magic...

What Im trying to say is its still up to the officer's discrection wether or not you were street racing. I could be stopped at trim Rd and the 417, waiting for the light to turn green, and when it does I accelarate to 100km/hr as the posted limit says....now lets say some fart can Honda is beside and trying to keep up....but all I'm doing is getting up to the posted speed limit....cops see 2 cars with loud exhaust aceclearting quiclky to 100-120km/hr...All Im doing is getting up to the safest speed, as the law states, but to this cop I could be "endangering the lives of the public" :rolleyes:

You guys must have some really nice cops around. lol. Its even marked in my "file" "Pottential street racer". Maybe thats why Im not happy about it, because I've already experienced what its like to be profiled. Yet I have a pretty clean driving record...11 years driving, 3 speeding tickets. Not perfect, but you guys know there's worse.
