A 49-year-old man is facing several charges, including the dangerous operation of a vehicle, after revving his car’s engine outside Winnipeg police headquarters.
According to a news release, the incident happened around 1:10 a.m. Saturday morning. Police said a “suspicious” Chrysler 300 was on Garry Street, when the driver started revving the engine “obnoxiously.”
When officers approached the car, it quickly drove off. Police said the driver was operating the vehicle erratically; running red lights, weaving through traffic, and hitting speeds around 90 km/h in the downtown core.
Multiple police units, including the Tactical Support Team and the Canine Unit helped stop the vehicle near St. Michael Road and Pulberry Street.
Revving an engine at 1am is just asshole behavior. Good that the person got charged.
It’s a way for the vehicle owner to broadcast to the world that they have a small dick.
Riiight. The cop station is in downtown Winnipeg with exactly zero condo/apartments nearby.
So really, how annoying can it be? Oh right. Cops heard it so it must be REALLY BAD.
Pfft.
That and honking horns. We need laws lime this here in India.
Really? If people in India stopped honking horns, how on earth would you know when to jump out if the way? The entire traffic flow in parts of India is based around always being able to hear what types of vehicles are where.
Turn signals.
In India, even the tuktuk drivers think they’re driving BMWs.
