In a statement on social media, police said a 26-year-old man was stopped by officers for driving 132 km/h in a 70 km/h zone on Bank Street near Conroy Road.

    Impounding is just the start of this fuckwad’s problems.

    1. The car is being held in a $200 a night hotel.

    2. He has to hire a lawyer, $3000+

    3. He has to pay a fine of thousands.

    4. Then the fun starts: his insurance is cancelled, and he will be placed on a list where only predatory insurers will touch his policy, these policies can hit $20,000/yr, and this will be for minimum 5 years.

    Stunt driving real costs exceed $50,000. Being stupid is expensive.
