If you’re going to do something dangerous, stupid, and illegal, creating video evidence of the act and posting it online is a surefire way to make things much, much worse. Unfortunately, that’s a lesson that one C8 Corvette owner in Canada had to learn the hard way after a video that showed him street racing against a motorcycle was posted to social media, leading to his arrest and his sports car being impounded.
Per a report from CTV News Toronto, 22-year-old Brampton resident Simranjit Singh was arrested on June 30th and charged with several offenses, including dangerous operation of a vehicle, racing a motor vehicle, and performing a stunt in a vehicle. Peel Regional Police state that prior to the arrest they were made aware of a video posted to social media which shows Singh racing near Steeles Avenue East and Airport Road.
In the video, the C8 Corvette driver is seen taking off from a stop light alongside a rider on a green motorcycle. The two accelerate quickly, and the driver raises their left hand as the speeds climb. The individual taking the video raises the camera to show the green motorcycle start to pull ahead of the C8 Corvette, at which point the driver pulls their hand back inside the cabin. We see the C8 Corvette and motorcycle speed by another motorist in the center lane.
According to the CTV News Toronto report, police say that the driver was traveling at roughly 226 km/h (140 mph) in an 80 km/h (50 mph) zone.
The report indicates that Singh was released with conditions, his license was suspended, and his C8 Corvette was impounded. He is scheduled to appear in court next month. Investigators have yet to identify the rider on the green motorcycle.

Stupid is as stupid does
Scott, You know how these cult members are, always babbling meaningless ignorance. They aren’t intelligent enough to understand anything, so they just mindlessly repeat what Billy Bob in trailer #3 told them they heard on fox news. Creepy Joe, you are the poster child for Dunning Krueger syndrome.
GLOBALIST are watching?!? No, no! Dumb butts are POSTING their illegal activities. I did stupid stuff in my younger days but I didn’t advertise it on the news media.
One word – Brampton. Google the demographic there and you will know what Im talking about.
I think he owns a liquor store
I’m sorry but yes everyone is saying bad remarks about this is wrong because anyone that has a very nice fast sports car probably would have done the same thing but what happen to the motorcycle dude that was racing with him.
Who buys a super car capable of doing 200mph to sit it in the garage and never drive it over the speed limit?
That’s ludicrous to think. Know the road conditions, stay away from other traffic and residential areas and let it rip.
I think if he is new to Canada.
He needs to be sent back to his home country never to return.
If he is not then he needs to push the button on the car crusher that destroys his car.
Come to United States. Plenty of open country roads. Get out of the city.
This is the last person in the world we need here. Another outlaw, stay out!
