Every once in a while a news story pops up on our radar about a juvenile delinquent caught driving at breakneck speeds on public roads. We at Demaras Racing always take the opportunity to point out that there are race tracks for this sort of behaviour. A place where you get a trophy instead of a ticket, silly child!
But this time, the story is worse. In the Toronto suburb of Pickering, a substitute teacher was recently nabbed by the police while going 102 km/h on a quiet street with a 50 km/h limit. To make it even worse, she was caught on her way to work. At a local school. Where she teaches impressionable Canadian children! That’s an automatic failing grade for you, Ms. Speed-Demon!
The Ontario Highway Traffic Act defines ‘street racing’ as speeding in excess of 50 km’h over the limit. It isn’t always a teenager in a blue Subaru with a big wing that gets slapped with these charges.
In this case, the teacher should have had better judgement and just been late for school because not only was her vehicle was impounded for 14 days, her driver’s licence was also suspended for 30 days.
Starting to like AI generated images (like the main pic in this post) since they help to tell a story.
A Teacher. On the way to school.
Shameful. You’d expect a juvenile delinquent to act like this.

Hmmm…making me think that everybody acts like this (regardless of age or gender) but young gearheads get the bad press.
Well, not EVERYbody. But yes, the jd’s get in more trouble by being on the radar.
Not everybody. My wife has been driving for 10 years and has never been pulled over, never got nabbed by ‘photo radar’ or a fined by a red-light camera.

But I just don’t like the unfair attention that specific groups ‘on the radar’ get because it has a detrimental impact of youth + police relations..
Makes complete sense!
