just got a ticket last night.. stupid me..
ok, so last night i took the JDMinprogress EG6 i WAS building just cuz i heard it was going to be a good night and lots of people were going to come out. however i was foolish enough to believe that i wouldnt b pressured into "racing" by my stupid friends. i had the worst gut feeling that something horrible was going to happen, and i kept repeating to myself and to them, yet they kept re-assuring me that nothing would happen, that everything would be ok and to stop stressing out so much.
so after i did a pass, i hadnt completely turned around, and i saw the other car do a U-Turn and boogey the F*ck outta there, next thing i know, im completely turned around and theres a cop just sitting there with its lights on. so i stop, and start panicking.. next thing u know, i throw it into reverse and try 2 run, but i just said "**** it, im already pwned." so i pulled over about 20 meters from where the original stop was and threw my keys out the window. at first he came and took me into custody and said i was under arrest for "Failing to stop when signaled/requested by a police officer" and put me in his back seat, not even 5 minutes later, 4 more cruisers arrive. i guess after he "deliberated" with the other officers, he felt sorry for me. and he let me go, he said, "i know you were racing, and i dont know why u would risk your entire life for this stupidness," and let me go with just a nice little 325$ careless driving ticket.
so low and behold, my stupidity and weakness to say "no" got me a nice little careless driving ticket last night.

Wow you raced in Vaughan of all places...
Call Forch @ Redline Legal. They dont take deals if you want to fight it to the end theyll fight it to the end or if you want to take a deal he can probably get it down to an improper lane change or something. Forch is the man...
