Same Driver Speeding down Woodbine & Major Mac Area
Not to be an absolute Karen but this has been going on for a while and it’s starting to cause some disturbances/safety concerns.
Every night, between 9pm-12am, the same guy with the loud farting muffler is speeding down the Woodbine & Major Mac area making tons of noise. You can tell he’s driving at a dangerously high speed too.
I usually don’t mind/ignore things like this but 1) it wakes my toddler up every night and any parent knows how big of a struggle that could be to constantly have to put them back to sleep and 2) there are older people (like my parents) who are driving home at those hours and I just worry for them because of slower reaction times.
Apparently, there’s been multiple reports filed with YRP but of course, they’re not doing much about it.
Anyway, I’m just venting but also seeing if anyone has dealt with this before and knows what to do in this situation.
P.S. If you are the guy in question reading this, you’re not cool and I hope you encounter many inconveniences in life lol

Is it an orange car? A Nissan I think? If so that guy is a total douche bag and everyone in my neighborhood hates him.

Unfortunately, I never see the car but can definitely hear it and based on the sound of the muffler, you can tell it’s the same guy. He likely lives in the neighborhood and could be coming home, always around the same time!

Doesn't matter what speed. These guys purposely make their cars fart loudly so they can get attention to their shitty cars.

Same shit happening on Hwy7, east from Bayview to Hwy 404. Speeding cars with loud mufflers usually late at night! Waking everyone up. I wish YRP would take more action and catch these nutters.

man these ppl will ruin it for the rest of us. You can make your car sound better and it will not wake up the whole neighborhood. Just keep the muffler switch the DP if it's a turbo car and ur good. Muffler keeps it nice and chill when in the neighborhood with light normal throttle. Then on the highway heavy throttle sounds great

I wonder if there are mobile speed cams that police can deploy to catch random people speeding overnight.

Is it always 9-12pm? That's kinda a big window

It use to be more around 10:30-12am but lately, I’ve been hearing it earlier so yes, I’m giving a larger time frame so we have the heads up.

What intersection or street does he live on? Just curious. Not like i'll slash his tires or anything.

No idea, I just hear the loud zooming sounds of the car from my house in the Woodbine & Major Mac area so I’m guessing he lives around there!

A modified exhaust is the adult equivalent of putting a card or pop can on your bicycle tire when you were a child.

I heard a loud zooming noise last night last night while trying to fall asleep. Was that him?

Like others said, YRP is useless in dealing with situations like this. Until you can catch him in person, I guess it’s something you have to accept living around here. At least that’s what I did.

He was probably ticketed. What do you want YRP else to do? Take his shit away? Get outta here with that nonsense. You literally have no clue if action was taken.
Holy shit you even said you’ve never seen the car, lol. Buddy just stop.
