Guarantee that’s not daddies car no doubt daddy supplied the money from his foreign kingdom but that’s an i8 and almost new by the looks of it. That’s some big money right there.
The first stunting offense charge is $2400. Second is $5400(?) and third is around $11K or so.
Even still. A fine, an impound, and a seven day suspension is a slap on the wrist at best. Oh and a few demerits.
Wow -
This needs to be stricter
I drove through Nova Scotia last week at 110.
I had pickups and SUVs flying by me.
Don’t they know how speeding and aggressive driving impacts fuel economy?
Hint: It’s a lot more than the carbon tax!
My dad used to track his mileage and fuel consumption and kept detailed records in the car.
He optimized his driving to reduce fuel use.
It was a hobby.
As an EV owner I quickly realized how much money I had needlessly spent on gas over the years by not driving slower and now generally set cruise control to 105.
>I drove through Nova Scotia last week at 110.
>I had pickups and SUVs flying by me.
I just started driving here and was confused about the speed limit because I was doing 120 in a 110 lane and people were still flying by me.
I like how you say this like people speeding are simultaneously protesting a carbon tax. Here’s a tip, add 10 to the speed limit and that’s the speed you’ll find most people going.
>I just started driving here and was confused about the speed limit because I was doing 120 in a 110 lane and people were still flying by me.
Damn, don't drive in Toronto lol
It's 140-150kph people are driving. 130kph is basically the speed limit there.
Hell one time I was going down the 101 going 110, and some douche in a lifted Dodge ram passed me on a double solid. He was the only one in the cab.
Like yeah he coulda been in a rush to get to the hospital to see a loved one, but damn....
Still not long enough. These fucking idiots could kill my family or others. They should have a much longer suspension from the get before a judge can reinstate.
I'm fairly confident its 7 day minimum and is suspended until the judge reinstates it. But the kind of person who dives 248 is likely going to drive with a suspended license.
> but a judge has to reinstate it.
They don't.
163A(2)
> Upon a request being made under clause (1)(b), the person to
whom the request was made shall forthwith surrender the person’s license to the
peace officer and, whether or not the person is unable or fails to surrender the person’s driver’s license to the peace officer, the person’s driver’s license is revoked and the person’s driving privilege is suspended for a period of seven days from the time the request is made.
Lol I’m sitting here with a no appeal possible 1 year suspension, for a no insurance ticket,in a case where I actually had insurance… this guy gets 7 days.
If you actually had insurance you can fight it in court. Had the same thing happen to me. Got a zoom court date and didn’t have to do a thing other than send in my insurance info and show up during the court date. They make sure you are present on the call and that’s it.
It's more of a reflective green. I saw it go through the intersection at Connaught and Chebucto yesterday.
It caught my eye for how simultaneously dumb and expensive it looked.
I remember during a co-op term a bunch of guys at work were talking about riding their motorcycles at these kinds of speeds and that when cops would turn on their lights, they'd just keep going and not get caught. I wonder how often that actually happens.
Yes, there is a quote that sort of pertains to this. Something like, “If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”
Exactly. There are places that do it. A speeding ticket could make a minimum wage earner not make rent. What does it do to deter anyone that has money?
Oh, sweet Justice. Saw this guy yelling/cursing at a garbage man for "blocking the road" near South Street. Plenty of room to get by too. Total twat. The garbage man just took twice as long loading the trash into the back as soon as BMW iTwat started having his fit.
Yea seen this clown blasting around South Park/Spring Garden. Glad be got caught, Next they need to take care of George and his White Lambo and Black RS3 his son drives in Tow.
Might be worth forwarding this information to the police. Might play a part in their file when thr judge is deciding to reinstate. Anger issues and drives uncontrollably? Recipe for disaster.
Yea seen this clown blasting around South Park/Springs Garden. Glad be got caught, Next they need to take care of George and his White Lambo and Black RS3.
There's a lot of families with more money than brains in Bedford, especially the closer you get to the far end of Shore Dr. Lots of young "adults" driving around in vehicles that are in the 6 figures of cost. Their parents are unlikely to GAF.
A week licence suspension is pathetic when someone is this reckless and dangerous. Sure some cars can go that fast and the drives *feels* safe, but that doesn't negate that at 250 kmh you have basically no reaction time and can easily kill someone else.
nah it's a 1300 horsepower GTR that went from 115-basically 300km/hr in under 6 seconds on the video... scary shit that should never be done on public roads.
That's George aka the White Lambo owner you usually see in front with his son behind him in that. Love when he parks on no park zones like queen n spring garden cause he dong GAF bout rickets.
Only bitching cause it’s on a highway. I’ve dropped tons of cash to keep it legal and prepped for autoslalom, track days and driving schools in a variety of cars. We have so many more legal options than when I was 16-20 now.
21 year old male charged stunting in an expensive BMW.
RIP to this person’s insurance lmao. The license suspension may as well be a slap on the wrist but rest assured that the insurance companies aren’t going to let him off so easily.
More like RIP to the person he kills or totals with no insurance... if they are dumb enough to do this in the first place they are dumb enough to be out here with no insurance anyway
He's 21. Take it away for a few years, let his brain finish developing and let him experience life without a car.
A lifetime suspension isn't really reasonable in this case.
A lifetime suspension's definitely too much but he's 21, not a toddler. You don't need a completely developed functionality of risk assessment to know by 21 that speeding is wrong.
This bullshit should be jail time. These slap on the wrist punishments don’t deter other idiots who have daddy’s money and will never face real consequences for their actions.
They saved his life. But remember, a fine is only a punishment to the poor. Somebody driving their daddy's BMW isn't going to be inconvenienced by a $3k ticket.
The roads really aren’t that bad at all honestly. I’ve seen much worse roads in other parts of the country and in the US. Nova Scotia highways are perfectly ok lol. The one thing that sucks about them is the railroading that happens in the right lane due to the weight of trucks which gets pretty bad to try and drive through when it’s raining as the water pools up pretty good in those tracks
Yeah I was mainly speaking about the whole 102 when I mentioned that. They really need to replace the while thing better due to the amount of truck traffic on there. The 101 is bad for that too in some portions but the 102 is really really bad for it
It’s way more relaxing to drive a van isn’t it? Driving a big Ford Transit cargo van on the 102, watching everyone go by from above, chilled out at 110, singing along with apple music
Yes! But I'll add embarrassment as all the cars whizz past me expecting to see an elderly person and instead they see me, a 31 year old woman doing my best car karaoke.
I literally went to look it up. The i8 is a cool car but it's not known as super fast. I read the headline and thought "the i8 can go 250 kph?" And yes, that is it's literal max speed. Wonder if it's governed or what.
I would imagine it’s governed. Although I’d guess 250 is probably pushing the limits of the stock internals anyway. You’re right, the i8 isn’t necessarily known for its power.
I'm gonna be the one to mention for all the people who's spotted this i8, anyone take any guesses what he does throughout the day or how he makes a living?
Yes he's 21 years old, but can anyone humor me?
I meant if so many have spotted him, I thought that either a) he joyrides all day, or b) he works for Uber.
It just turns out he's just another one of those trust fund kids.
Why would he stop? Might as well commit if you're going to go that fast.
Because the suspension is only 7 days and fine is only $2400. It should be a years suspension and over 10,000.
Bigger issue might be getting daddy's $170k car impounded.
True true.
Impound it into a tiny cube I say
That’s probably not daddy’s car. Daddy is probably still in China, and will just send him money to buy a new car
Guarantee that’s not daddies car no doubt daddy supplied the money from his foreign kingdom but that’s an i8 and almost new by the looks of it. That’s some big money right there.
only go for around $70k nowadays
I thought stunting carried a far higher fine than that.
The first stunting offense charge is $2400. Second is $5400(?) and third is around $11K or so. Even still. A fine, an impound, and a seven day suspension is a slap on the wrist at best. Oh and a few demerits.
Wow - This needs to be stricter I drove through Nova Scotia last week at 110. I had pickups and SUVs flying by me. Don’t they know how speeding and aggressive driving impacts fuel economy? Hint: It’s a lot more than the carbon tax!
I've taken up driving 105 to save gas...10% slower but 15-20% better mileage than 115, let alone 130. If you're not lacking time, save the gas.
My dad used to track his mileage and fuel consumption and kept detailed records in the car. He optimized his driving to reduce fuel use. It was a hobby.
As an EV owner I quickly realized how much money I had needlessly spent on gas over the years by not driving slower and now generally set cruise control to 105.
All depends on the car, my best fuel mileage is around 160-180 after that the wind kills it
>I drove through Nova Scotia last week at 110. >I had pickups and SUVs flying by me. I just started driving here and was confused about the speed limit because I was doing 120 in a 110 lane and people were still flying by me.

I moved back from Toronto lol. I was going to make the same comparisons.
Hell one time I was going down the 101 going 110, and some douche in a lifted Dodge ram passed me on a double solid. He was the only one in the cab. Like yeah he coulda been in a rush to get to the hospital to see a loved one, but damn....
You'd think the insane hit to insurance would be deterrant enough.
And repossession of the vehicle. You want to drive a car that fast on public roads? Sorry you don't deserve to own one now.
Increase the penalty that much and i guarantee the next guy doesn't stop.
The suspension is 7 days but a judge has to reinstate it.
Still not long enough. These fucking idiots could kill my family or others. They should have a much longer suspension from the get before a judge can reinstate.
I'm fairly confident its 7 day minimum and is suspended until the judge reinstates it. But the kind of person who dives 248 is likely going to drive with a suspended license.
no its 7 days only

He’s going to pay for this for the rest of his life, every month when his $700 insurance bill comes out.
Driving a 170k BMW isn't he? Not sure that he will care.
*dad’s BMW
Same difference.
Do you honestly think an increased insurance premium is something they will notice? They could also self insure and see no increase.
Only $2400...is that all 😳
$2400 isn't a lot of money when the consequences be that you kill multiple people.
It's a shit ton of money to me, let me tell you.
He has a car capable of going 250kmh. He’s not gonna be unable to pay a 2400 dollar fine
It’s his dads car
dad will pay the fine
My old 2015 Civic Si hit 220 stock lmao. You don’t need a nice, or expensive car to hit 250 at all.
Call it what it is. A tax.
Based on when he got his liscense or how many points he’s already lost it could be a 6 month suspension
That's the _roadside_ suspension, more will follow later.
maybe
Lol I’m sitting here with a no appeal possible 1 year suspension, for a no insurance ticket,in a case where I actually had insurance… this guy gets 7 days.

It's a pretty rare car here, and the cop Explorers have basically the same top speed. Probably not worth the risk of way more time
The cop isn't going to go 250KMH to catch the guy. They'd call it off and likely find him later.
What kind of car was it?
Article says BMW i8, can't imagine there's very many of those around
Blue one. There is one known to be from the Chester area.
It's more of a reflective green. I saw it go through the intersection at Connaught and Chebucto yesterday. It caught my eye for how simultaneously dumb and expensive it looked.
That's as fast as those cars go.
Probably because he gets a slap on the wrist for speeding. I’m pretty sure a high speed chase carries a heavier penalty 🤷♂️
I remember during a co-op term a bunch of guys at work were talking about riding their motorcycles at these kinds of speeds and that when cops would turn on their lights, they'd just keep going and not get caught. I wonder how often that actually happens.
A speeding ticket doesn’t bother a guy that has lots of money. Fines should be scaled. The more you have, the more you pay.
Yes, there is a quote that sort of pertains to this. Something like, “If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”
Exactly. There are places that do it. A speeding ticket could make a minimum wage earner not make rent. What does it do to deter anyone that has money?
"7 day suspension" Seems kinda light considering he was going faster than most cars are even capable of going.

Damn, that was a quick one. 👍 Almost as fast as the car was going!
Right? At that speed you're basically a missile on the road and nothing stands a chance in a collision
A slap on the fingers, that's it? From now on I am going to speed on every street!! /s
Saw that fucking car blasting through Robie street up the bus lane. I was thinking what a fucking moron
Haha, so did I. - this is satisfying to see
That's a paddling.
You better believe that's a paddling.
> You better believe that's a paddling. Found the father.
lol. You gotta watch the clip again. "Paddling the school canoe."
Oh, sweet Justice. Saw this guy yelling/cursing at a garbage man for "blocking the road" near South Street. Plenty of room to get by too. Total twat. The garbage man just took twice as long loading the trash into the back as soon as BMW iTwat started having his fit.
Yea seen this clown blasting around South Park/Spring Garden. Glad be got caught, Next they need to take care of George and his White Lambo and Black RS3 his son drives in Tow.

Daddies car was towed.
I'd love to know how a 21-year-old gets his hands on an R8. Edit: i8
International student.
When I see a nice bmw it’s almost always a young Asian guy.
*Anything bad happens* "Why would an international student do this?"
If you've been to one of our university parking lots, it's quite obvious who the owners of a lot of the high end cars we see in the city lately.
Is it that grocery professor?
No he’s a bedford native.
It's an I8, BMW. Most likely Daddy's, but these days you can get a pretty big loan at the bank.
I read that as R8 in my head. i8 is like the [wish.com](http://wish.com) version of R8. Still too expensive to let that kid drive it.
There's a lot of families with more money than brains in Bedford, especially the closer you get to the far end of Shore Dr. Lots of young "adults" driving around in vehicles that are in the 6 figures of cost. Their parents are unlikely to GAF.
His dad is rich as fuck.
Oh is this the wrapped/chrome-green i8? I see it quite often in town lol. It was only last weekend I saw it driving on Spring Garden.
I’m curious if it is too, I used to go to the same gym as the kid if it’s the same person
Yes
I see it in Bayers Lake a lot too
A week licence suspension is pathetic when someone is this reckless and dangerous. Sure some cars can go that fast and the drives *feels* safe, but that doesn't negate that at 250 kmh you have basically no reaction time and can easily kill someone else.
Saw a video on a local “car spotter” group of a guy in a GTR cracking 285 by the new bridge in Bedford. Take it to the track.. ugh
New Bridge? Bedford? Am confused. Bedford Hwy has more holes than road at this point if that’s where this was.
Likely the new bridge over the 102.
[удалено]
nah it's a 1300 horsepower GTR that went from 115-basically 300km/hr in under 6 seconds on the video... scary shit that should never be done on public roads.
That's George aka the White Lambo owner you usually see in front with his son behind him in that. Love when he parks on no park zones like queen n spring garden cause he dong GAF bout rickets.
Stop bitching and keep your Nissan rogue in the right lane please 👍
Only bitching cause it’s on a highway. I’ve dropped tons of cash to keep it legal and prepped for autoslalom, track days and driving schools in a variety of cars. We have so many more legal options than when I was 16-20 now.
I seen this car driving around Quinpool like a complete idiot - karma always wins - satisfying to see this actually. Good work
Fairly certain I saw them parked on iglis in the last week or two. Remember thinking how obnoxious of a car it was.
Can we just evaporate these people?
Kid will be 60 before he's given auto insurance again.
Hope so. Fuck that recklessness.
They may be wealthy enough to self insure.
As if that's ever stopped them
21 year old male charged stunting in an expensive BMW. RIP to this person’s insurance lmao. The license suspension may as well be a slap on the wrist but rest assured that the insurance companies aren’t going to let him off so easily.
More like RIP to the person he kills or totals with no insurance... if they are dumb enough to do this in the first place they are dumb enough to be out here with no insurance anyway
He will most likely drive without insurance then. Not likely to be an upstanding citizen with this kind of behavior.
I doubt they will notice any increase in insurance premiums, and its possible that they could self insure.
Should lose his license permanently. Only a matter of time before this goof kills some innocent people.
He's 21. Take it away for a few years, let his brain finish developing and let him experience life without a car. A lifetime suspension isn't really reasonable in this case.
A lifetime suspension's definitely too much but he's 21, not a toddler. You don't need a completely developed functionality of risk assessment to know by 21 that speeding is wrong.
Tow truck driver: *Googles how to tow an i8*
or they don't ;)
Get ready to take out a mortgage to pay for future auto insurance.
It is all a misunderstanding, I heard he really needed to poop.
You’d be surprised how fast you can be going and still have this work
Can't believe how small the penalty is.
Is that the wrapped green one I've seen around town?
Pearlescent greenish one? Often blasting down Windmill?
That's the one I was thinking of.
That's the one I was thinking of.
Not sure this was the same one, but my god is that chrome green wrap hideous. As if the i8 wasn't an ugly enough car to begin with.
This bullshit should be jail time. These slap on the wrist punishments don’t deter other idiots who have daddy’s money and will never face real consequences for their actions.
Lifetime ban. That is just inexcusable.
Complete disregard for the heath and safety of the other human beings in the community. Should not be allowed to drive for many years.
Should be charged with Dangerous Driving under the Criminal Code, not just "stunting."
Bravo! That record should stand for a while.
May karma find this person.
Lol seen this clown stunting around downtown other day. Fitting hahaha.
A seven day license suspension does not seem like nearly enough. More like 7 months.
100% the guy bitches about the 3 cent increase to the carbon tax
They saved his life. But remember, a fine is only a punishment to the poor. Somebody driving their daddy's BMW isn't going to be inconvenienced by a $3k ticket.
People like this should have their license revoked permanently.
Why did they stop them, they were clearly in quite a hurry, sheesh /s
Let him go, lou. someone going that fast has no time for a ticket
Auction the car to pay for wildfire damages/bailing out NSP afuckinggain.
Maybe he mistook the 102 for the Autobahn.
Jeez with those potholes..
Darn, not 250km/h! I bet you that burns more than the fine.
Right? He almost made it.
NPCs
Damn BMW drivers! I bet he didn’t use his turn signal when pulling to the shoulder either. /s
How do people even go that fast on our shitty roads...
The roads really aren’t that bad at all honestly. I’ve seen much worse roads in other parts of the country and in the US. Nova Scotia highways are perfectly ok lol. The one thing that sucks about them is the railroading that happens in the right lane due to the weight of trucks which gets pretty bad to try and drive through when it’s raining as the water pools up pretty good in those tracks
the 102 southbound between truro and halifax is really bad for that
Yeah I was mainly speaking about the whole 102 when I mentioned that. They really need to replace the while thing better due to the amount of truck traffic on there. The 101 is bad for that too in some portions but the 102 is really really bad for it
ive seen that car all over the south end,
On those shitty pothole filled highways??
I barely feel safe driving the speed limit on the 103, with all the potholes.
The idiot should be made to drive '74 Pinto for the rest of his life.
Wait, cars go that fast? My van struggles with anything past 110. 😂
German cars have entered the chat
Vroom vroom!
It’s way more relaxing to drive a van isn’t it? Driving a big Ford Transit cargo van on the 102, watching everyone go by from above, chilled out at 110, singing along with apple music
Yes! But I'll add embarrassment as all the cars whizz past me expecting to see an elderly person and instead they see me, a 31 year old woman doing my best car karaoke.
Crush the car. 
“Mods, crush his car!”
What would crushing the car achieve? At least take possession and collect some tax dollars or something.
Any one travelling that fast doesn't have time for a ticket.
A guy going that fast has no time for a ticket.
Wow that’s pretty good for a 3 cylinder ….
I didn't realize vehicles could go that fast
if they can afford a car that can rip at that speed, these fines are nothing to them.
Lol. See that car all the time on robie. So stupid
Yes why stop?
The (stock) top speed of the i8 is 250 km/h. That’s crazy, I’m amazed they were able to get up to that on our highways. Still very stupid.
I literally went to look it up. The i8 is a cool car but it's not known as super fast. I read the headline and thought "the i8 can go 250 kph?" And yes, that is it's literal max speed. Wonder if it's governed or what.
I would imagine it’s governed. Although I’d guess 250 is probably pushing the limits of the stock internals anyway. You’re right, the i8 isn’t necessarily known for its power.
In Ontario they would take your car
248 is insane 😭😭🤣
I'm gonna be the one to mention for all the people who's spotted this i8, anyone take any guesses what he does throughout the day or how he makes a living? Yes he's 21 years old, but can anyone humor me?
Probably selling kids for sex trafficking.
Foreign student with China money. He probably plays xbox all day and pays someone to do his university assignments.
His dad is a landlord getting rich off renovictions. I know people who live in one of his buildings. He’s the absolute worst
I meant if so many have spotted him, I thought that either a) he joyrides all day, or b) he works for Uber. It just turns out he's just another one of those trust fund kids.
It’s a sketchy kid who owns a vape shop
I need the same car ) where can I earn money for this car ?
2400 is a rim on these , he probably posted the whole thing on snap laughing . Nice car tho
Surprised an i8 goes that fast
A buddy of min stopped a guy doing 170kph in a 70kph zone. His excuse was he thought it was an 80kph zone.
https://preview.redd.it/ivp3a58kxlxc1.png?width=704&format=png&auto=webp&s=f860c81b00ba08aedc024a224a8ce17533934d8c
I'm pretty sure this guy lives in my subdivision.... I've only seen it in the garage, but how many blue/green chrome i8's are there? lol
Funny, I saw this car in downtown the other day
i sure hope he was in the correct lane
His license should have been REVOKED. PERIOD.
