Some of the local groups are saying he had the car less than a month.I just rewatched to news report video and it looks like the black mustang still has temp plates on it! SMH
The big one in Ontario's stunt driving that gets more than all the other ones added up is that 50 km/h over the limit is an automatic stunt driving charge, and likely a conviction since provincial offences prosecutors have been told not to deal down on that charge.There were some high profile street racing cases in the Toronto area that lead to some of the most draconian traffic laws. Currently being charged with street racing carrys a minimum of double the minimum for drunk driving with automatic licence suspension and impoundment of the car for at least a week:
“If someone is convicted, the fines range from $2,000 to $10,000. For a first conviction, a driver can be slapped with six demerit points, a maximum license suspension of two years, and up to six months in jail.
Courts can also impose a driver licence suspension of up to 10 years for a second conviction within a decade.
5 things you may not know about stunt driving in Ontario
But what, exactly, constitutes stunt driving?
Alongside risky manoeuvres like popping a wheelie, driving with someone in the trunk, or doing doughnuts, it can also mean a variety of other dangerous behaviours. That includes intentionally cutting off another car to intentionally driving too close to another vehicle, pedestrian or object.”
I see more BMW i8s than 5.0s and many non-factory blackout badging has the rear GT painted over in flat black. Right now the police have an ongoing project to stop street racing and you know who is most picked on... The dealership near me has not sold a single 2017 5.0 in months and the single 2018 EcoBoost has finally been sold. Of the 5.0s I see I never saw one take a pull and are driven like little old ladies quite frankly.
I have never been challenged by an EcoBoost and I am almost sure they are on 87 as nobody takes the risk. Get charged with street racing and you sell your car as you will lose your insurance. The only guy I know who drives aggressively drives a V6 just like mine and has been known to have beaten a Porsche Carrera 4 in a most humiliating way and out maneuvered another Porsche on a decreasing radius turn. It’s not car but the driver
the news says this was 249 southbound. So my guess is they were racing on the 65 mph section of tollway, which changed into 45 mph business and residential zone, with one or more stop lights, undivided road and cross traffic, and they kept right on going.That's a pretty sketchy section of 249 to be racing on, lots of places for people to pull out as the story demonstrates.

And not to bring politics into it without a reason, but the snowflakes running this province would never do anything to promote auto sport as it exists now, they'll be happy when we're all in autonomous EVs. That's mostly why no local facility got done, zero political will.
Street racing is idiocy writ large, you think you're a big wheelman, take it to a track and show us how good you are. We've got at least 5 road courses and several drag strips that the public can do track days on at reasonable cost, there's no excuse for doing this on the street.
A very tragic event so I didn't want to point that out.Being objective, I'm assuming the driver of the pick-up wasn't paying attention.
I'm not condoning street racing, but the pick-up driver appears to have had his part to play in this disaster.
Not looking to argue but that's a bad way to look at it. It's like blaming a robbery victim for not being more aware. You still blame the robber. Sure it's possible maybe this didn't' happen if the pickup driver was more aware. Speaking from experience, at the end of the day the average driver isn't' on the lookout for unexpected behavior of other drivers.Being objective, I'm assuming the driver of the pick-up wasn't paying attention.

Wellllllllll......a robber is looking to perpetrate a crime, a specific crime. Those racers were just morons, not out to hurt anyone. But they did, most certainly.Not looking to argue but that's a bad way to look at it. It's like blaming a robbery victim for not being more aware.
True they were not looking to hurt anyone. But they did knowingly act in a reckless manner that they should've known would endanger others. Without getting too far into the law, that is criminal. Traffic crashes can have multiple causes but if one of those causes is criminal and the other just accidental or enhanced by the criminal act (enhanced speed) then that is where the fault lies.Wellllllllll......a robber is looking to perpetrate a crime, a specific crime.

I just looked at Google Maps street view, and it's a wide-open area. I am guessing, but I'd think the truck driver pulled right out in front of the Mustang to cause that. The LEOs haven't said anything about the Mustang crossing lanes of traffic to hit the truck, so one can only surmise the truck driver didn't look before they pulled onto the road.
Oddly, the Google Maps street view has a black 2015-2017 GT PP car in the picture.
