two weeks... that's nothing my son compared to my 2 months license suspension which I managed to reduced it to 1 month with my letter of appeal.
Um, why did you have your license suspended?

i would ask to see the two motors that they blew...

Maybe im jaded by shops, but they always come up with the best excuses as to why things arent where they should be, when there was ample time to do it... but i digress!

Enjoy the new motor when its done!

The first time I took my car out for a spin, I went from 5th to 2nd, but fortunately, I was only doing like 50mph.

PS: 50mph is still in 2nd range right?

I've done that 5th -> 2nd but luckily I was going exactly 61mph and the revs shot up to 9k, but that was ok. I almost freaked!!!

You had enough violations to have your license suspended and you're complaining about it?

Speeding, no big deal, blowing a stop sign is how a few people I knew were killed on their bikes, not because they blew the sign, the car blew it.

It's too bad you're so jovial about it, I guess that penalty wasn't stiff enough to teach you anything.

um... i would say u just don't know enough about regulation in BC to even talk about lessons. In here we have this N sign piece of shit for new drivers who pass their first class 7 driving test. You have to drive with N sticker on ur car for 2 years before u can take class 5 exam. I believe no other places have this retarded rule.
Anyways i was still class 7 and they are very strict with class 7 drivers.
Speeding ticket, I was driving at 80 in city street where limit is 50km. note that's km not mph. that's about 17 mph difference. So let me ask you do you or any other people actually never exceed that much? joke right? I got caught that day with bunch of other cars on the street because fckin police with no life was doing check that day.

With the stop sign violation. Look, i didn't see the stop sign and accelerated crazy like some moron. I didn't come to a FULL stop. The view was clear enough that I just needed to slow down to like 3~4 mph and start going again.

So i get a 2 month suspension for these two strikes. Not stiff enough? I call ur bsing. maybe u could tell me what lessons I could've learned from these. Following city limit strictly for the rest of my life? umm i doubt if anyone can do that.

Whatever the cars that "blow" the stop sign and killed ur friends are really irrelevant to me here. sorry
