I was well suprised how fast the zed was after I had my new clutch and flywheel fitted, and the Merc driver was very impressed with the zed.

51-year-old treated as 'boy racer'

By HELEN PRATTLEY - Waikato Times | Saturday, 4 November 2006

He may be a middle-aged businessman in a flash car, but he's still covered by the boy racer legislation. Helen Prattley reports.

 

"I'm not a boy racer, I'm a car enthusiast."

 

These words from a Tui beer advertisement were yesterday used in the defence of the chairman of the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce who was convicted of spinning the wheels of his Mercedes Benz in Mahoe St, Te Awamutu, last December.

 

John Rae, 51, yesterday appeared before Judge Joanna Maze in the Hamilton District Court, having been found guilty of wheel-spinning under what is known as the "Boy Racer Act".

 

He was fined $450 and disqualified from driving for six months.

 

In an effort to have Rae discharged without conviction, lawyer Stephen Harrop told the judge the legislation was designed for "boy racers who congregate at night in suburban areas to undergo deliberate, sustained loss of traction to impress their like-minded mates, and in the course of that create significant dangers to people and property".

 

He said Rae never intended to spin the wheels of his car and was in complete control of the $250,000 Mercedes CLS 55 AMG while doing so. The car, which left a 27m-long trail of rubber, was impounded by police for 28 days.

 

"Mr Rae is neither a boy, nor on this occasion was he racing," Mr Harrop said.

 

"He did not create a material risk to road safety."

 

He said a conviction would affect Rae's ability to travel overseas, impact on his business, cause him personal embarrassment, harm his reputation, and stop him driving in motorsport competitions. It was therefore out of proportion to the gravity of the offence, Mr Harrop said.

 

But Judge Maze told Rae the purpose of the law was to tackle exhibitionist drivers.

 

"In a sense, yours was exhibitionist driving although I accept you have difficulty accepting that," she said.

 

The judge referred to Rae's previous convictions for careless use of a motor vehicle in 1993 and dangerous driving in 1976, and 17 fines for speeding since 1985.

 

"I think they (the speeding infringements) are indicative of the approach you have applied in the past towards driving safety and your obligations," she said.
