As you’ve might have heard, Ford Mustang drivers have a tendency to crash.
That’s putting it mildly but, the latest crash is interesting because of stickers posted on the pony car.
Tweeted by Canada’s Oak Bay Police Department, one says “Street racing is not a crime, well it is but f*uck it.” Likewise, a decal on the back window reads “Yes officer, I did see the speed limit sign (I just didn’t see you).”

While the latter is kind of funny, the Mustang was involved in a crash yesterday morning. According to the police department, an officer was conducting a “stationary speed enforcement” at 12:45 a.m. when the Mustang drove by at 45 mph (73 km/h) in a 25 mph (40 km/h) zone.
The officer turned on his lights and started pursuing the vehicle, but the Mustang crashed into a tree approximately 1,148 feet (350 meters) down the road.
The driver and two passengers weren’t injured, but a third passenger was taken to a hospital for a possible vertebrae injury. However, it was later determined they didn’t suffer serious injuries.
As for the driver, the 20-year-old female had a blood alcohol content of .04 and was driving on an “N” license. The latter restricts novice drivers to only one passenger – under most conditions – and forbids them from having a BAC above 0.00.
Given this, the woman received five tickets including one speeding and another for driving without due care. She was also hit with three tickets for driving contrary to restrictions.
Deputy Chief Ray Bernoties said “The stickers on this car are indication of how immature and unaware some drivers are.” He went on to say the driver “endangered the lives of her passengers and others,” and ultimately injured one of her friends. He added, “We sincerely hope nobody has to die for these people to understand how serious this is.”
12:45am on Beach Dr in #OakBay. Another "N" driver with 3 passengers. Fortunately, nobody died. One injured & taken in ambulance. Driver rec'd 5 traffic tickets & we're consulting with Crown regarding a potential criminal charge. Sometimes a few photos can tell the whole story. pic.twitter.com/WoUDwHyQtF
