The Nissan GTR is a $160,000.00 car in Canada, and that one looks like it's got about 30K worth of additional mods done to it.

Let's say $200K to round it off.

 

It's quite sad how ignorant wealthy folks, who then have ignorant but equally wealthy kids just laugh the law off as nothing more than a bonus part of a great YouTube video for fans of his page.

Car should be confiscated and auctioned off to generate cash for those innocent folks who are crippled in the accidents caused by "social media influencing" drivers like this.

I don’t know. When I was 20 or 22 I drove occasionally the same insane speed a few times in a much lesser vehicle. Picked my spots though. Chatterton Way and Central Saanich roads come to mind.

‘I just want to be a kid and have fun:’ driver doing donuts at Nanaimo mall gets ticketed

Feb 6, 2025 

 

On Feb. 3 around 7 pm, RCMP were called to Nanaimo North Town Centre following complaints of vehicles doing donuts/burnouts in the snow in the parking lot.

Travis, the 18 y/o driver, was at the same spot earlier when police showed up, telling him to move along or risk having his vehicle impounded.

“I didn’t listen, I just want to be a kid and have fun - my other friends were up there when it happened. I got a cool photo of me sitting on the hood with the cop right there and the tow truck.”

Travis was issued a $368 ticket for driving w/o consideration and 6 demerit points. His Toyota 4Runner was impounded for 7 days.

“I’m gonna keep going back and hanging out there, even though how much the people in the high-rise buildings don’t like it, it’s part of where me and my friends hang out.”

A self-driving car would never do this.

A self-driving car would never do this.

It took humans to avoid a head-on collision with this self-driving car:

Both said they were worried about a head-on crash and got out of the way.

But, they say the driverless car just kept going onto oncoming traffic.

"If a person made that mistake...I don't think you should have your license," Wuest said. "If you pull the Waymo over, like, odds are there's probably not going to be a driver in it. Who is held accountable for those individual mistakes?"

Lol.  There were 16,500 car crashes yesterday in the USA.  EVERY one was a human driver.

As opposed to a dog driver?

Some dogs must know how to drive, I guess.
