2 Toronto guys got
- Thread starter Cobster
- Start date
Well if they were paying attention they probably wouldn't be dead.
Even on the 401 with all the trucks and high speed traffic, I can usually HEAR guys who are racing or otherwise driving insane speeds while they are still a few hundred menters away.
Usually I spot cars weaving through lanes in the rear-view, but sometimes I'll hear the engines first and then look for them in the mirror.
If you are driving in Markham Richmond Hill or Vaughan you need to keep your eyes and ears open for racing cars - yes, that means driver window down, no radio, no karaoke, no DVD movies or any other distraction!
If these guys were like most Woodbridge/Maple guys and driving VW's or Bimmers at 150, those cars sound like chainsaws at high RPM and and you can hear them comming if you're sober and attentive.
I'm not saying that to bash the dead guy or to excuse the dangerous driving - just a helpfull hint if you drive up there to go to Pro or Waag.

Did anyone read about the latest one? Where two racers took out 3 other cars and killed someone?
They'll probably get 2 yrs probation, have to serve their time at night at home, in their bed, and be given a tsk tsk by the judges as well.
As Mr Dick is pissed that the cops have the right to punish people without a trial, I say THANK god someone punishes them.....

I liked in the story where it stated that the two could face life imprisonment...I actually laughed at that because the 2 others who killed the cab driver's punishment was they had to stay home and play video games for a year and the other had house arrest to be only served at night......

Notice the 2 brother's attorney saying they had no criminal records.
First thing that came to mind is, "oh well, they may now".
Like that's an excuse for their idiocy???
Kind of disturbing for the one husband who saw it happen in his rearview mirror.
"Just after noon, Dougherty looked up at his mirror and saw his wife's Grand Am being smashed apart on the road behind him. He pulled over and ran to Cindy's aide, but it was too late."
These guys we're almost double the speed limit, 140 in an 80 zone.
I'm not sure about life sentences, but throw everything at them.
There are worse criminals to put away in jail, but take their licenses away for 20+ years and a huge ass fucking fine. $500,000?............each?
Let them suffer slowly.

Lancs, Not that I'm expecting you to be an expert on this case, but was a collision reconstruction report done? With what did the York Regional Police charge them?
Perhaps it is the equivalent of the Racing charge in Ontario, but unless the decedent turned directly in front of the racers closer than safety would have allowed (were they traveling at the speed limit) I'm thinking vehicular manslaughter and/or reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon would have been appropriate charges.

The quote from a friend at the bottom of the page is just pure idiocy - again.
"One person, who gave the name, "Anonymous," wrote in capital letters. "U dnt know these 2 guyz. The roads were wet . . . .These are two guys cut from a good family. They woodnt (sic) do something like this. The media and ppl like u jump up and scream street race. Steve was pulling out to pass, right?"

Ive been away no internet so sorry for the delay.
I expect that the York cops must have done something like that.
The particular spot is a deadly corner. There have been plenty of " normal" speed accidents there over the years. At a very high rate of speed those two asshats would have crested the hill and closed in on the intersecton so fast that a sober person would have had a hard time judging the time to cross two lanes.
its a shame that they got away with it.
I still say someone with the press access to info should do a detail review of those two punks families and see if there is any "connection" that got them a conveniently placed out for the judge to use.
