The message this week is very clear: There's no room on Ontario's highways for "extreme" driving. The law was beefed up last weekend to throw the book at speeders, racers and stunters.
As of writing this column on Wednesday evening, more than 100 drivers have had their vehicles impounded for seven days with all the towing and storage costs that includes, plus probable fines of at least $2,000 and an automatic seven-day licence suspension.
Some of these drivers – probably all of them – definitely deserved it.
The 24-year-old caught at 140 km/h on the Don Valley Parkway in his mom's Mazda Protegé definitely thinks so, left literally crying beside the road.
And the guy delivering his client's Aston Martin from one garage to another, nabbed at 160 km/h on the Gardiner Expressway, is still without his licence. The Aston is still at the pound and I'll bet the owner's not happy.
The Spies would like to wish all our readers in the USA a Happy Columbus Day and our friends north of the border a Happy Thanksgiving!
