    The model year+color means it’s just one car/one driver? Isn’t more than 150 violations per year like more than $20k?

        COVID was like one day of quiet streets except for ambulances followed by NYERRRRRRRRM until things started opening back up. You can’t win with cars. Congestion charges just keep the streets clearer for these assholes.

        Fines start at $400 in a school zone and you can only get three before losing your licence - unless you register the car under a company and refuse to nominate a driver - then it’s $11k each time

        The car would be seized at $5k of fines where I live, or even before that, depending on just how egregious the speed violation was

      there’s some shit going on in nyc lol. I don’t expect they’re paying the fines. Or they’re somehow making more on videos of them doing it than the fines cost.

    Coney Island belongs to the Black 2022 Audi A6. He doesn’t go to Canarsie, a Black 2020 Mercedes controls that neighborhood.

        Nashata are really feeling the squeeze, must be rough. Tamarack must be pretty stress free.

        Interesting how they all mostly occupy a small circle area, except when they’re influenced by a lake, it causes the lake ones to occupy a much larger territory than the non-lake ones.

    All available data confirms my long-standing prejudice against Audi drivers.

    Audi is not just a car for rich people, it is a car for rich people who drives like assholes.

    Most of these cars don’t have turn signals either. Double the danger. Twice the fun.
