OPP Catches Motorcyclist Going 200 Kilometres An Hour On Highway As Thanksgiving Blitz In Full Gear
Friday October 5, 2007
CityNews.ca Staff

This Thanksgiving is full of firsts. It's the first one in a long time that it's ever been this warm, it's the first time in 30 years the dollar has ever been this high, sparking many to head to the U.S. and it's the first time in history police in Ontario have been given the power to seize your car on the spot if you're caught going 50 kilometres an hour or more over the speed limit.

The OPP have already flexed those new legislative muscles, taking down more than 150 drivers caught defying the new rules that were implemented last Sunday. They were out in force again Friday, taking part in the nationwide Operation Impact, designed to cut down on the carnage that traditionally rides the roads on the Thanksgiving long weekend.

Among those caught in the net: a motorcyclist allegedly going more than 200 kilometres an hour on the northbound 400. Cops tried to pull him over but he did it for them, winding up on the curb as he attempted to avoid one of the cruisers. "We have a 23-year-old in custody charged with dangerous driving, escape by flight, stunting," explains OPP Chief Supt. Bill Grodzinski. "He's an M1 license holder, shouldn't have been out here on the highway to begin with and it's not his motorcycle. Just a disaster looking for a place to happen. Extremely fortunate no one's been seriously injured here."

Some drivers were pulled over not because of their record speeds but because of their records, period. One was hauled away for operating a motor vehicle with numerous license suspensions. "There's a small minority of people that don't get it," Grodzinski complains. "The same people that are causing these senseless tragedies on our highways."

And these "same people" are proof that belies that old cliché that with age comes wisdom. "So far for these impoundments it's about 80 per cent males and we've seen ages from teenagers to people in their 60s," assesses Sgt. Cam Woolley. "But it's mainly young men in their mid 20s so far that are getting the impoundments. And I'll tell you, while most of them are caught for extreme high speeds, quite often they've also been drinking or are already under suspension for other dangerous driving offences."

Think you can beat the cops by slowing down when they're around and zooming away later? Then you're not up to speed. They've also got an array of unmarked cars patrolling the highways and a plane in the sky, tracking your every move from above. And while everyone is going away for the weekend, they're staying put. They'll be out there until late Monday night.

an m1 rider doing 200 kph, hes got some balls, cant believe people are still ****ing around like that with the new laws. gotta be a little smarter about it now :)

Thats a pretty good bet to take in Toronto!!!! :smilie_da LOL

Ya bro if I was a FOB I would just say WTF I didn't get that info in Hindi or Urudu so I didn't know it was law.

theyre gonna have to make the signs in 55 different languages just so all the illegals will understand them. should be a rule, learn to read english before you can drive

Yeah for sure and umm learn to drive before you can drive would probably be a good rule to.

well that moron deserved it anyway, if ur goin that fast ur gonna kill urself first, and second while ur done killin urself ur puttin other people at risk, alot of lost their lives on that highway this past summer, sad to see

not just that but the gov should be stricter on who gets to work in their offices. let me say im not being racist but ive got a mind boggling question to ask here. ive been to an mto in the gta, and it was full of non whites, a handful, well most, barely spoke the fuken language. how do these people get government jobs while me, a white male whos fluently bilingual, cant get one? better yet, there was a guy on the old board that said he watched these ****ers take their own kind out to a car on a road test, sit in the lot for 15 minutes and ocme back inside and get their license. and you wonder why these ****ers cant drive. thats why, the government hiring mother****ers who take bribes and give licenses to idiots who dot know what the street signs are, or what the color lights mean, none of that .

i joked around about bribing my way to get my m license but in all reality i wouldnt. its not fair to everyone else who has to go throgh the graduated . plus this way it ensures that everyone has a grasp on riding before their allowed to get on a 2 wheel death machine.

i dunno just wanted to rant a little i guess. but theres your answer to why so many ****tards cant drive properly

When I went for my G there was a white chick behind the counter..???..at the morningside center in scarborough..???..The line moved quickly ..hehe. though the asian who was supposed to behind me was right at my side not knowing what personal space is about and I kept hoping that he'd try to get to the counter in front of me so I could pwn his ass...Judgez you've made this same post so many times and I never get tired of it....especially when I get a fcukin ticket downtown t.o. for "fail to stop at an AMBER light" and at the same time I'm the guy who stops at the stop sign in my street at 2am....while these fcukheads who don't pay attention when driving and don't see the need to stop at stop signs late at night keep on driving and causing accidents. I don;t talk on my cellphone for more than a minute or 2 and if I do I go in the slower lane if the call is really important, don't like talking to you when traffic is busy downtown and I have to keep a hawkeye out for pedestrians, dumbasses, dumbass pedestrians and taxis and generally I just drive when I'm driving, not drive and do other cuz I take pleasure out of driving.

its a story that has bothered my for years now for some many reasons.

imthe same way, i try to avoid the whole cell phone driving thing if i can. if its really important ill go as far as pulling over onto a side road to talk. but you get some jackasses that shouldnt be allowed to drive let alone multitask wihle driving.

i was almost hit by some clowns a few years back who decided that because they were on a main sideroad and i wa cutting through, that they didnt have to sto pfor the 4 way stop, had i gone i would have been hit.

hell another quick story going to back to abot 97 when i had my old auto cavalier. i was at a set of lights waiting for mine to go green, 2 lanes of traffic in each direction, so im witing to pull out and go straight, theres a truck beside me waiting to turn left.

anyways light goes green and i jut stared at it for about 3 or 4 seconds before i decided to go, so i let off th ebrake and start to roll and as i do a car blows the red light, and no word of a lie was traveling an easy 100 kph. my guess is they saw the light go yellow about 150 or so feet back and decided they didnt want to stop for it. fuken hate people like that. alsmot wich i had pulled out, imagine the lawsuit and the the life lesson that would have braught, lol

To be honest, I know alot of people who have bikes and on several occasions I've heard them say that if they get booked going over 150KM that they wont stop anyways. Either way your ****ed!!

thats exactly it man, either way its gonna be thousands in fines and you loose your license, so why not take a chance and try to get away. the law is stupid, its only provoking more wreckless driving. expect to hear about alot more cop chases and alot more inocent people dieing as a result

Yeah I'm afraid a few people might take the "run" option if it means losing their: car or employers vehicle, their insurance, their job, their money and freedom. You'd think they might implement a 3-strike rule or something. Not like it matters to me having a target on my back all the time I drive very casual...now the rest of the 'tards can deal with Fantinos fantasy. Christ I was in Forest Hill tonight and saw some Michael Bryant signs on houses with S4s and M5s - you sure thats a good vote mr speedy businessman?

I want to borrow one of those signs and deface it or burn it at Queens Park.

How many homicides are we up to since they enacted the 150kmh rule anyway?

Oh well...election is a few days away good bye Dalton et al.

Saw a minivan gettin the tow job on the 401 tonight. On a side note a right hand drive comes in handy for ride checks....cuz cops are too lazy to walk around to the other side..hehehe

Thats good, because I get hammered and drive all the time. i should get a right side drive car and then the cops wouldn't bother me while I'm out on my death cruise.


Right?

Ass.

unfortunatly it will mean alot more kids are gonna run, in experienced drivers afraid to loose their parents car. hell theyve caught ike 200 cars already with this new law i think. thats alot. wonder how long before people smarten up a little.

as i said before, the speed limit in the gta is 160 kph. there are more cars that travel at that than at 120. and i can really ee the hiways emptying up, or atleast becoming alot more congested. im jst happy my daliy driver is an suv which i dont go over 120 in. hah.

the sign idea is pretty good, hell ill even come up there and help you aquire a few ;)

Hahaha...I've never once driven drunk. Sure I've had a few and driven but never drunk. One time I was pretty out of it but I figured I should see how my driving was anyways. The car stalled twice so I said no way I'm drivin and I got out and gave the keys to a buddy of mine until I sobered up. No need to be name callin' son. I probably shouldn't have posted that because I am very much against drunk driving.

Yep..saw this for myself last night. I was coming home from a friends place and I was going 140-150 and I was passing very few people. A lot of others were just moving away from me. And again it wasn't civics or any one group of people. I was looking at 2 minivans, a sunfire, a jeep, 2 CRVs and someother car that I could only see the top of in the express.

its weird though because there have now been over 300 cars according to the news today that have been nabbed by this already and people are still speeding along, lol. thinking about it again i can actually see traffic getting worse

not to sound like an ass but when ur on a bike like a r1 or cbr 1000rr
going around 140km/h doesnt even feel fast. u dont even notice unless u look down at the speedo. they need to realize that not everybody drives corollas and cavaliars(talking stock ones granny style). kinda sux for the people with m's and amg. heck even my moms 06 oddessy does like 160+ easily.

Too bad he didn't get away. :veryhappy

If was cooking at 200 and i seen an OPP officer trying to catch up, i think i would be doing 300 and running.

Every guy i've ever met with "tin" and a crotch rocket has broken the law speeding.

Another cash grab, thats all this new legislation is. Soon we wont be able to criticize the government without being tied to a poll and shot.

im getting a bike this winter for next summer, if im getting caught over 150, there is no way in ****ing hell im staying put. Im not planning to go that first the first summer for sure, but who knows sometimes the road is clean and you wanna see how it feels, thats usually when you get ****ed.

i ride a bike, and it is soo easy to do 50km/h over the limit without even knowing it, and on occasions you could hit 190-200km/h (not in the city) and trust me if i ever get caught doing that i will get raped, so my theory is i won;t stop, unless the piggy can catch up or i feel it is getting out of control, then i will stop.


oh yeah the long weekend, i didn't even touch the bike, left it in the garage, didn't feel like being made an example off. :)

I think this past week has been a record. Four articles in a row from the media and not one comment about 'modified car' as they usually happen to just throw in every article regardless of the fact that it is about bone stock soccer mom minivan that was weaving in and out doing 110 on Bloor lol
