Be warned about speed bragging online

http://www.680news.com/news/local/ar...ing-on-website

VAUGHAN, Ont. - Police said a BMW driver who bragged about his speeding on a social networking site was later convicted on careless driving charges.

York Regional Police said Vladimir Rigenco, 19, of Vaughan, Ont., is banned from driving for six months and sentenced to 12 months probation after he entered a guilty plea.

He must also complete a remedial driving program and pay a fine of $1,000.

Police said a U.S. man contacted officers in early April about a social networking website for BMW fans, where a suspect had posted a message saying he drove his car 100 kilometres an hour over the speed limit in Vaughan.

The online community reacted to the post and urged the driver to slow down and be more cautious.

On April 16, officers arrested and charged Rigenco in connection with the careless driving incident

Yeah, how can that hold up in court? They have no evidence other than the guy bragging.

He entered a plea of guilty to the charges. Funny thing is he can afford an M5 but not a lawyer or legal representation.

He's a rich Woodbridge kid with rich parents, it was a gift for getting good marks. It's been taken away.
