If you were a cop... would you street race?

Holy crap. You guys went all Canada on us. Don't know where you guys are talking about.

Basicaly if you're speeding, you accept the penalty and move on. Am I wrong?

• Increases fines for street racers and aggressive drivers, including those who drive 50 km/h or more over the posted speed limit, to $10,000 and allows police to immediately suspend the driver’s licence and impound the vehicle for seven days;
• The maximum fine increases from $1,000 to $10,000 upon conviction for street racing, making it the highest penalty in Canada. The minimum fine increases from $200 to $2,000.
• Police can issue an immediate seven-day driver’s licence suspension and seven-day vehicle impoundment for street racing, participating in a driving contest or stunt driving.
• Courts can impose a driver licence suspension of up to 10 years for a second conviction, if the second conviction occurs within 10 years of the first. For a first conviction, the maximum licence suspension period remains at 2 years.
• The definition of a “driving stunt” includes driving a motor vehicle at 50 km/h or more above the posted speed limit.
• The Act also bans driving a motor vehicle on a highway with a connected nitrous oxide system. Some street racers use nitrous oxide to enhance the acceleration capabilities of their vehicles.

And the legal definition of racing:

If its the name, would you rather them call it, super speeding? Stupid speeding?

Excessive Speeding works nicely thank you.

I like 'stupid speeding'.

I got pulled over for going 9 over a 30 limit in the dead of night with just me and the cop being the only two cars in sight. I was so annoyed at getting that ticket. I didn't even realize I was speeding for the five seconds I was.
