mrwrong 0 #2 January 7, 2010 Ooops.... Yeah... A SHIT LOAD of trouble We had a similar case here in Sweden a while ago... A mechanic totalled a Viper during a test ride after service.... And then invoiced the owner for the service fee When the owner went to the press the invoice was all of a sudden "dropped" “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

captain1976 0 #11 January 7, 2010 Ridiculous, there is no reason in hell to punish the innocent car owner. No way the cops could get away with that here, if they did try it they would be open to a big law suit which they would loose.You live more in the few minutes of skydiving than many people live in their lifetime Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millertime24 8 #13 January 7, 2010 Thats pretty good, but I can beat it. Got popped doing 80.5Kmh in a 50kmh zone. I know its not exactly 60kmh over the limit like the lambo, but to be fair I HAVE had the vehicle I got the ticket in up to 160kmh before (just never been caught doing it). Also who else can say they got a speeding ticket in Baghdad?!?Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One BIG reason not to live thereOur laws state that if you are caught traveling more the 40km above the posted speed limit, the car is impounded and you are arrested on the spot. The law DOES NOT state that the car will only be impounded if the driver actually owns said car.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

riddler 0 #18 January 7, 2010 My minivan comes with a "valet key", which only unlocks doors and starts the car, but does not unlock the glovebox. Idea is you can put things in there, and the valet can't steal them. Maybe fancy sports cars need a "valet key" that only lets mechanics and valets drive at 25 MPH, in first gear.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Im hearing of people who are getting so bored, that the MPs are watching the FBCB2 to see who is speeding, and issuing tickets to the units that own the trucks. I never got pulled over on VBC, almost did a few times out west, but that was before our MPs had real radar guns. Who knows, next deployment could be my lucky one, as I am always going to and from BIAP."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warpedskydiver 0 #21 January 7, 2010 Corvette IIRC had a setting that would limit performance when the owner was not at the wheel. It was a top end car, don't know if they do it anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im hearing of people who are getting so bored, that the MPs are watching the FBCB2 to see who is speeding, and issuing tickets to the units that own the trucks. Bored??.... Here in Minneapolis a while back, a group of sport bike enthusiasts were bored. So, to kill some time, they would go out late at night and take a little drive on one of our many fine freeways. What they’d do is, find a State Trooper, flip him the bird and then take off. Every once in a while, they’d slow down to let the Trooper catch up. Then, after another firm “Eagle Salute” followed by a little twist of the wrist, they’d once again disappear into the night. It got to be a little embarrassing for the local law enforcement types so when they finally caught up with one of the board bikers (weeks and many incidents later) they came down on him pretty hard. He apparently rolled over on his cohorts (nice guy). It all ended very quietly as to avoid publicity. Now, I’m not saying I was involved in this activity! I’m just writing this because I’m bored.Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonlyski 3 #24 January 7, 2010 FBCB2 is a computer system people can track movements in the area with, so they watch a screen, click on an icon and see what the speed is.
