Infiniti showing off at a local BMW meet (merged)

I don't think this will stick. Unless he admitted he was driving, all they have is his car on a video. That is their evidence and the witnesses (if they go to court).

How can you charge someone criminally when you have no proof they were driving. I think it'll be a fine and that is it. Just like photo radar, they cannot prove who was driving so you get a ticket.

Its not like he was chatting with some buddies, looked at his phone slipped on the pedal and accidentally split those two cars. That would be careless.

What he did was intentional and very dangerous. If he had knicked one of the two cars with how busy that road was I guarantee at least 5 cars in the ditch. Maybe more. Wasn't there a semi right behind them? Easily could have been a death.

Cocky prick got lucky imo.

Also remember this is all over the media. Government won't want egg on their face if this guy gets off with a slap on the wrist when they have grounds for a sucker punch to the gut.

Totally agreed. It's amazing that no one panicked and swerved to the center. This was extremely close to a multiple collision with fatalities imo.

There was a big meetup in Sylvan and the RCMP were phoned in because of this nubtron. Im guessing with enough witnesses stating that the offender was behind the wheel, hes SOL.

Yeah but wouldn't the witness' have to show up to the court date? (correct me if I am wrong here)

[mzdspd]

I am interested to here how this turns out.. Because the dash cam footage and the witnesses are the evidence.
So if the witnesses do not show, can he be charged criminally? Or will it be downgraded to a traffic violation..

Interesting to see.

I thought I read someone say the RCMP were near by and heard the argument or something when the group stopped?

I could totally be wrong about that though.

I heard the RCMP was called by the group and they met them at the scheduled meeting point

Maybe that's what it was. I remember thinking it was weird how RCMP just happened to be near by.

RCMP came by as Kumar was about to be dragged and beaten out of his car

LOL so it was him. Guess he won't be working at Sunridge Nissan anymore.

I think a criminal charge is probably a bit excessive in this case... I have seen much worse on the car-cam bad drivers thread. A hefty fine and maybe a suspension is in order though for sure ...

I think this is way more dangerous...

On an errand run with my parents and this shit pops up on my dash,



Blue Lexus IS

Pedestrians, oncoming traffic, etc....

it doesn't matter if this is MORE dangerous. what he did was completely retarded and fully deserves criminal charges.

Mr. ANAND has every right to question the witnesses if this goes to trial but a witness statement is all that's usually needed. The witnesses will be subpoenaed if they need to attend court. Been there done that.

Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle is not normally a charge that's thrown on someone (unless they are involved in a police chase for eg.) but clearly Mr. ANAND has a huge history of motor vehicle offenses or b) pissed off the RCMP pretty good with his story and actions, post incident. Im sure the meet group also had a lot to say to the RCMP.

Apparently, according to witnesses, Mr. ANAND thought that what he did was "cool" and was surprised at the reaction he got. His chat with the RCMP was probably equally as ignorant.

There is the answer regarding his previous driving history.

^ the cheapest Infiniti right now is the Q50 starting at $37,500?!

The one in the video looks like an previous gen M35 or M56...not that expensive a car that a 20 year old living at home could afford with a steady entry level job...

Just did the financing on their website, WOW, didn't know Infiniti did 84 months, good to know for future reference, the base RWD Q50 comes in at $218 biweekly taxes included! .....this guy's stunt could've just brought Infiniti a few new customers
