Cliff's: The trooper pulled over a group of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and an Acura NSX that was reportedly racing on a stretch of freeway at over 100 mph in a 55 mph zone.

They all got a "speed racing" violation, a serious offense.

One of the drivers was pulled over a second time later in the day.

I guess if you can afford the car, you can afford to pay the ticket. I'm sure that trooper will be telling his grandkids about this one.

Obviously they weren't going fast enough if all 6 of them got pulled over by a single cop...

But then again I'm sure that those Canadian registered exotic owners are not too worried about some ticket.

I wouldnt speed on Highway 18, lots of wildlife and Prius drivers doing 40..

Here's a story with slightly better pictures.

how do you pull over more than one car at once?

S14 n Tsx

ouch.

ThermonMermon

i think ive been pulled over more times in groupings than not. (grew up in queens...would never happen there. once you travel upstate, its pretty common w. speed traps)

have they died of dysentery?

Ken1997TL

If they haven't the emo-friendly weather will get them after October or so..

From the CNN article:

Thanks for the other link. My goodness, there's a lot of anti-Canadian sentiment there!

mrmako

Well, if they were from Canada and wanted to race, why didn't they go to Montana. Where the men are men and the sheep are....Um, you get the idea.


Isn't there no limit on the interstate in Montana? I would think there would be less to hurt there, or maybe Nevada. No reason to try this in Oregon.

if it's only a $650 ticket, that's not bad.
they'd probably get it a lot worse here, apparently 50km over the limit and you get wreckless driving, and your license suspended.
i'd just be worried about it affecting my license. And for these guys, that money is probably not a lot

must be a super trooper.

Pfft $600 bucks in a lambo HAAA!!!

i woulda laughd at the cop after he gave me that ticket (if i was in a lambo or a Ferrari)

dudechewy

that sux....hey if they can afford the cars they can afford the penalty......

COEHSP

yeah im actually surprised they all stopped, I have a buddy that as a small fleet of exotics and his monthy insurance is a little of 18k a month, of course he does have a pretty hefty driving record but he seems to have no prob affording it, god im jealous!!

Josh99CL

Wow they were only going 90/100 probably feels like 45 in those cars.

My 10 year old CL feels comfortable at 90

SlimTL

I would have pulled over too, because all the trooper had to do was radio ahead to other troopers. The exotics would eventually have to stop and maybe face bigger charges for evading the law.

Those aren't the best roadways either...rough, lousy asphalt all the way to the beach.

Ken1997TL

Yeah, the state would rather spend 300 million a mile on a commuter train that only a few thousand people use per day

Thats a lot of buses and paved roads right there.

Oregon has the loudest pavement of any state I've been to. It's not just 26 over the coast range.

How much do you wanna bet the registration increase Premier Dictator Kulungoski is instating will be spent on bike lanes and boxes instead of fixing our fucked up roads?

I love Oregon but I hate the dumbasses that run it and the dumbasses that keep electing them.

vanirl

That sucks. If I could afford a supercar, I'd love to buy one and drive it FAST..but you can't without risking points, hefty fines, and possible suspension of driving privileges. Where's a Maryland license when I need one? I missed having it; they don't acknowledge points accrued in other states. NJ sucks!

Is that so? they really don't count points from other states? wow.

thats one funky lookin spoiler

vanirl

Yep! It was an awesome privilege while it lasted. I got a bunch of speeding tickets in New Jersey and never got a single point for them (not counting the tickets I got with my NJ license lol). I only had to pay the fines, but I'm sure everyone on this forum would prefer to pay a fine than accumulate points. Now I'm waiting for my yearly point deduction I've earned by avoiding the accumulation of any points for the past year.

I wish I had friends like that.

Not like it would help if I was speeding in a group like that. Dumbasses
