It was bound to happen sooner or later.

A man who boasted online about driving his sports car more than 100 km/h over the speed limit on a residential road has been convicted of careless driving.
BMW fans of the 5 Series Forum site reported a posting to York Regional Police on April 9 after the 19-year-old driver of a 2006 BMW M5S bragged that he had been blasting along Apple Blossom Drive, near Bathurst Street and Major Mackenzie Drive.

Fans of the site lambasted Vladimir Rigenco of Vaughan and encouraged him to slow down and be more cautious, police said.

Rigenco plead guilty to careless driving and was sentenced to a year of probation. Rigenco cannot drive for six months, must take a driving program and also pay a $1,000 fine.
Police thanked users of the forum for reporting the incident and remind drivers that police are online as well.



Apparently he even told a cop on the forum not to stick her nose in where it didn't belong, guess he won't be on the road anytime soon. He reported his speed at 100KPH over the posted speed limit

idiot he admitted it?
If he just said he was lying online to try to appear cool or something he would have gotten off free. They have no evidence, but they don't need any if you plead guilty.
never mind that he's an idiot for driving like that in the first place

The cops canvassed the neighborhood where the speeding took place and had him dead to rights, they couldn't prove speeding, but they got him on careless driving, still the guy needs time off the road.

Yes, but the difference being is people online could just be making it up to seem cool, he was an idiot for admitting it when they had no proof.

most cases of street racing have no "real" proof, outside of witnesses. regardless of whether he made it up or not, all it takes is a couple bystanders to say "oh yeah, i saw a couple cars speeding past here". the forum only tipped the police off to a group of potential witnesses.

that doesnt seem right...i mean i could say i had sex with meaghan fox...we all know its true, but some of us will think im bluffing

I did have sex with that fox girl, and I'm as real as her good acting, fo' sho.
