13 More Street Racers Caught

[JCL]

This is further to a thread last year that got some discussion going on street racers having their cars impounded. It is here: http://www.xoutpost.com/off-topic/lo...d-m6-f430.html

A group of 12 young men (and one woman), all under 21, were caught locally today racing along a suburban road. Speeds reportedly of up to 200 km/hr. Not all are necessarily guilty of racing, some of them have claimed they weren't racing, just following behind the ones that were. That doesn't seem like much of a defence to me, but they will get their day in court.

Anyway, what interested me is the 13 cars (valued at $2m) that were impounded at the scene. The newest one had only 200 km on it:

2007 Ferrari 599
2010 Lamborghini Gallardo
2010 Lamborghini Gallardo
2009 Lamborghini Gallardo
2009 Audi R8
2012 Nissan GT-R
2010 Nissan GT-R
2010 Nissan GT-R
2010 Maserati Turismo
2010 Maserati Turismo
2011 Mercedes SL63
2011 Mercedes SLS
2005 Aston Martin DB9

All 13 drivers got speeding tickets, and their cars impounded for 7 days, while charges of street racing are being investigated. Penalties range up to foreiting your vehicle, all proceeds of sale go to government. Turns out six of the drivers were on N (Novice) licenses, meaning they had only recently got their licenses and still must display the Novice decal, in addition to other driving restrictions.

My sense is that university is about to start up again, and a group of privileged students has returned to class with their recent purchases. I remember the days when we used to get school supplies and school clothes in September.

How does the 18 year old explain to his parents that he just lost his brand new Gallardo?
