ITT: people only reading the misleading headline
Asshole was arrested for reckless driving, and might have gotten away with it if he hadn't goaded the cops by waking them up with his micropenis replacement.
The editor really deserves a good chunk of the blame for that obviously misleading headline.
Absolutely. They knew what they were doing.
And it worked just as they intended.
Revving an engine at 1am is just asshole behavior. Good that the person got charged.
Honestly pointlessly revving an engine at any time should be illegal. There is no reason for that excessive noise. Many of these exhausts are loud enough to damage hearing (which should be illegal to begin with).
Seems like an obvious “disturbing the peace” infraction that could escalate if the person doesn’t stop when asked to by the police.
Not to mention, there are probably city bylaws in place around extended idling (pollution laws).
Not sure that the charge lines up perfectly with the behaviour though.
I would love to see laws or bylaws written and enforced to limit exhausts. Breathing their pollution is bad enough, people shouldn't have to tolerate being exposed to noises loud enough to be considered hazardous on a worksite in their public spaces.
More strict enforcement of catching people doing burn outs and donuts in parking lots would also help. Many walk away with just warnings while a ticket or impoundment could be more effective
It's a way for the vehicle owner to broadcast to the world that they have a small dick.
That and honking horns. We need laws lime this here in India.
Really? If people in India stopped honking horns, how on earth would you know when to jump out if the way? The entire traffic flow in parts of India is based around always being able to hear what types of vehicles are where.
Turn signals.
In India, even the tuktuk drivers think they’re driving BMWs.
A wise man once told me: One crime at a time.
The clickbait is strong with this one.
It reads like the guy intentionally got one star so he could see if he could lose the cops??
Whatever, Winnipeg stuff.
I thought cops stopped giving tickets for any traffic violations
The driver was arrested and officers discovered he had a quantity of methamphetamine in his possession.
Oooohhhhh.
Mopar or no car. Title is total clickbait but glad he got arrested for speeding and running red lights.
