407 Speed Trap near Pine Valley

[videosilva]

Be extremely care full going along the 407 near pine valley, O.P.P are ALWAYS there doing radar and impounding vehicles for 50 over.

It is a consistent cash cow there, you have been warned !

Well, they can be at any point along the 407, but the stretch b/w Pine Valley and Keele is the most popular one.

No you don't understand, I have been working there for the last 2 months and they are THERE consistently at night.

[civilian]

I drive through there every day. The cops are there constistantly about 3 out of 5 days a week. Both east and west bound. They get you coming down the hill on both sides. Use your breaks or you WILL be nailed.

As a warning, the tow trucks are wating on the ramps leading up to the Pine Valley area. If you see several tow trucks parked along the 407 ... it's a good bet theres a speed trap ahead and the tow trucks are there waiting for the impound call. It's a HUGE ... MONSTER ... cash cow for the tow trucks.

Good luck to all

yeah well... one of those K was mine ... total rip off ... SERIOUSLY... I'm all about making money ... but there's a limit to how far I will go while ripping someone off ... before I can't sleep at night...

Guess thats just me though.

I was in a vehicle that got impounded right there also, thankfully I wasn't driving. It was a Saturday afternoon, everyone was quick. When the tow truck driver dropped us off a Tim's (there were 5 trucks just waiting) it was full of people who had been nabbed.

We walked in with a kids car seat (child was not in car) and met quite a few groups in the same situation (lots of car seats, no kids). It is definitely a cash cow.

Not really, with only a third of the charges being upheld in court.

... unless you mean a cash cow for the towing and impound industry, that is.

I've seen him there several nights in a row as well hiding underneath an overpass. A hundred metres later you'll see a tow truck sitting in wait.

The good thing is that I've gone through there a few times doing 140 and they didn't stop me. I guess they are waiting for the 50 over guys.
