Stories like this make me so angry! 
He has already killed one person, has been caught driving while disqualified twice (and that's only the number of times he's been caught), has numerous other driving violations, AND a criminal record (for counterfeit and possession of stolen property) to boot. What an appalling level of disregard for the law and for the lives of others. I don't understand why people like this are allowed to roam free...
Driver in fatal street race arrested at wheel -- again
Man was banned from driving for 10 years after pedestrian killed

A Burnaby man has been arrested for driving while disqualified for the second time since he was convicted of killing a pedestrian during a street race in 2000.
Kwok Kei Victor Tang, who also goes by the name Cliff Tang, was remanded in custody and will appear in Richmond Provincial Court on Thursday to face charges of wilful obstruction of a peace officer as well as driving while prohibited.
He was arrested Sunday after Richmond RCMP stopped him for driving a car without a front licence plate. Tang then gave police false information about his identity and his address, police said.
Kwok Kei Victor Tang was jailed in 2001 after a street racing fatality, paroled in 2003, arrested six months later and eventually fined. Now he faces another charge of driving while prohibited.
Richmond RCMP spokeswoman Cpl. Nycki Basra is asking anyone who saw Tang driving on Sunday or "if they know of him driving at other times" to call the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
Tang, 31, was sentenced in 2001 to four years in prison and banned from driving for 10 years after he struck and killed pedestrian Jerry Kithithee in what became a high-profile and widely publicized case.
Tang, who didn't have a licence at the time, was driving a yellow Porsche Boxster when he ran a red light and struck Kithithee at Knight and 57th just after 1:30 a.m. on June 29, 2000.
Police said Tang had been racing two other cars at speeds of up to 200 km/h on Knight Street when he struck Kithithee, throwing him 80 metres.
Tang, a Canadian citizen, fled the scene and hid the Porsche before turning himself in the next day and pleading guilty to criminal negligence causing death and hit-and-run.
In a March 2001 letter to Kithithee's family, Tang apologized for the "careless driving which caused the death of your son Jerry.
"I allowed myself to be provoked into speeding while driving without a licence," he said then.
Tang was granted parole in late 2003, but was arrested six months later, in April 2004, when the Vancouver police gang unit saw him driving away from a Richmond massage parlour.
His parole was revoked and he was sent back to jail. According to Vancouver Provincial Court records, he was fined $700 in 2006 for driving while disqualified in connection with that incident.
The Crown said at his 2001 trial that Tang had an "atrocious driving record" with 16 violations for speeding, failing to stop for police and numerous tickets for driving without a licence.
At the time of the fatality, his licence had been suspended for unpaid tickets.
Tang was also convicted in 1999 for possession of stolen property under $5,000. In September 2001, he was convicted of possessing counterfeit money in Revelstoke; he was fined $12,000 and ordered to perform 50 hours of community service work.
