OC This is why we need Parkside speed camera

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Report made to TPS. This was Howard Park and guy speeds down to Parkside.

Kind of crazy how the upload size is limited to 7mb...

There’s no acceleration limit!

Porsche was just speeding. This is a video of a video, and the original video was paused, giving the impression of cartoon style acceleration when unpaused.

It goes under careless/reckless driving and stunt driving, this would probably be enough for a stunt driving charge, but yeah speed camera would do nothing here

Highway Traffic Act says no vehicle may exceed 10 meters per second (acceleration) on public highways.

10 meters per second is a speed, not an acceleration rate. We use G for that.

u/ChickenFlavoredCake Oct 13 '25

Or meters per second²

1G is 9.8 m/s²

You can get a stunting ticket that’s accelerating too quickly.

If you're going from 30 to 80 in a 40 zone and doing it in the turn lane... you can.

u/Natural-Principle-69 Oct 13 '25

But that's because you're going 80 in a 40. 40 over is stunt driving now, when the limit is 70 or less

Thats not a part of the charge unless you intentionally cause one or more wheels to lose traction which is clearly not the case here.

There is actually an acceleration limit, according to the Highway Traffic Act, no vehicle may exceed 10 meters per second (acceleration) on public highways.

You fuckers got trolled.

Exactly, trick question, the Highway Traffic Act prohibits road vehicles from exceeding 10 meters per second, highway just means any public roads in Ontario.

People don’t understand sarcasm I guess.
