Dear Editor:

Re: ‘L’ driver stopped after street racing 199 km/h in North Vancouver, Oct. 2 story

I read your article about the teenager driving with his L going 199 kilometres per hour.

I am a teenager who has my L. I am hoping to get my N soon. I thought this was absolutely crazy.

I can’t imagine ever driving that fast or ever driving without a supervisor in the car. I think he should have his licence fully taken away and not drive for several years, or ever, because he clearly has no respect for the rules.

He broke three violations on his L and a bunch of driving rules in general.
