HOW FAST HAVE YOU GOT YOUR YARIS TO GO - Toyota Yaris Forums

I must post the reason why I am bothered by it. First .. I will comment that I have been in Germany and have done 220 km/h and felt totally safe. It isn't so much the speed he was going but more the fashion he was doing it.

The poster had to record his high speed careless driving just so he could post it on YouTube. It promotes stupidity. If you watch the video . . he was passing other vehicles like they were standing still, thus making it a stupid and dangerous thing to do. If he would have posted his speed and not the videos I would have had no problem with it. In his second video he was just driving like an ass in a parking lot.

I will admit that I am biased in my opinion cause most of family are law enforcement officers, and when I see such crap on YouTube I cannot help but wanting to throw the book at them. It should be noted that such videos HAVE happened in Canada and the person involved have seen harsh penalties.

Can someone definitively tell me the speed limit in the area he was in and that he was not speeding at the time ?

If he would have done what he did in my province he would have received a huge ticket and the police would have attempted to permanently seize his car. (something they cannot currently do, but they are working on it)

There have been several cases of people driving at high speed in BC and having people killed in the process. Somehow I think that if one of your family members was killed by the poster of the video, you guys would probably not be promoting his actions.

I personally never go more than 15 km/h over the speed limit .. as excessive speed kills, something most of you seem to be forgetting.
