The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

Imagine getting a stunting charge and all associated cost for a burnout in a parking lot? wtf. No fun, lots of money. My favorite was the del sol banging off the limiter 10' from a speed bump, dumping the clutch to burnout and then slamming on the brakes before tearing his car up. Who wants to go to a car meet in a walmart parking lot? Were they really trying to impress the people coming out of walmart with their crap cars?
My highlights in wasaga....
1. Couple young guns putting their G35 in the ditch. Looked like they tried to burnout from the drive in, lost control, and over corrected right into the ditch. I wish I took a pic. Front in the ditch, back wheels in the air. Classic!
2. VW Jetta doing neutral drops in Collingwood to impress the young lady in the front. Good times. My transmission died in my 89 Sentra doing neutral drops....to be 17 years old again....

Police chase after meet
guy tried drifting his fwd Hyundai and did some big damage
Etc etc
News will start reporting this soon..
If you're going to ride an unlicensed, uninsured bike, try not to ride like an ass so people notify the cops to look for you. $5,400 in fines hurts. I was surprised that the cops let him push the bike away and didnt tow it.

VIDEO: Brampton man has to push motorcycle instead of riding after Caledon OPP issue $5,400 in fines
A 35-year-old from Brampton got some exercise Friday, May 21 morning pushing his motorcycle instead of riding it after Caledon OPP stopped and fined him for allegedly having no license, no insurance...

Seeing all his other infractions I am sure riding safely is a thought he had never had..
Hwy 400/11 split a dump truck with the box up hammered the bridge. Highway closed, at least one person trapped, air ambulance inbound.
As much as I am not a fan of government regulation, it seems entirely reasonable to have some sort of interlock between the box and truck (if box not all the way down and speed >10 km/h, limp mode/horn inside cab etc).

Given that trucks keep destroying bridges, overhead signs, etc. it's not a big ask.
Don't forget speeding up as much as possible in the straights to ensure they win the race (to the next corner where they again park it).Unrelated… but there’s a special place in hell for drivers going slowly through the twisties.
Years back I led a group ride (only 5 or 6 bikes, so smaller than somewhat normal) and at the end of it one guy was honked off that I didn't wind it up in the straights. I was "too slow." (I'm not fast, but I can choose a line). This guy would typically be third bike in the group. I would do things like drop down to 30 Kmh to let cars clear a nice set of corners, before I would enter them. For those of you who know the area around Terra Cotta I had to pull over and wait for him, for almost 30 seconds, after taking the three sweepers just before King St. eastbound gets to Mississauga Rd. THIRTY SECONDS. THREE CORNERS (two of which can barely be called corners).
Unless they are in a mini van then it is all gas all the time..Unrelated… but there’s a special place in hell for drivers going slowly through the twisties.
100% don't mind people going slow but move over or let people pass please.
Also all the large vehicles, trucks, 18-wheelers and vans that seem to hug the **** out of the yellow line. Can never see past them.
The updated street racing laws will make passing a moron on a two-lane road without risking your license exceedingly difficult (or dangerous). So many of them go to 30 or 40 over when in a safe passing zone, therefore to pass you either need to be faster than that, have the closing speed before they hit the straight or pass them in a corner. None of those are good options.
I highly appreciate a dude driving F150 and towing a boat in front of me going full throttle at Terra Cotta this Sunday, so hard that he was spilling gas from his boat.
Total respect.
i don't understand how hard it is to keep a consistent speed. i swear 80% of drivers have no idea how to use cruise control.
They don't just slow down in corners, all the slight hills or basically every impossible to pass spot most drivers seem to drop 10kph then go up 20kph when there's a passing zone.
Can't even take it personally, none of this is deliberate. They arent speeding up to not let you pass, they just subconsciously ease off and on.
I end up swallowing the pill and just passing wherever it's safe at just under HTA172.
Friendly reminder: you are allowed to pass on double yellow as long as it is safe to do so.
That's easier in a bike than a car. My daily driver cars don't have enough snap to take advantage of most of those windows (even less so if the vehicle in front decides to enforce their version of the rules of the road and gets on the gas to try to block the pass).
oh for sure, my truck has plenty of pickup and go but even then I don't really get safe chances like the bike. Don't even think about it if there's more than one car or its a longer vehicle.
20 year old waste of skin wiped out a group of pedestrians on the sidewalk in London (highly likely it was a black pickup truck at high speed blowing reds and generally completely out of control). Four dead (quite likely most of a family with one child surviving). Driver arrested six km away.
@Rob MacLennan or someone else that has paid attention to the legal system for a while, why do we allow concurrent sentences? It seems to me that is a complete waste of time on all levels. It takes more paperwork to lay all the charges, more time in court, more for the jury to consider, etc but ultimately, it doesn't matter whether they killed one or four. The family gets small consolation that the offender got convicted for killing their person but it means absolutely zero the vast majority of the time (eg. The offender gets eight years plus a bunch of concurrent fours, the fours are an expensive pile of paperwork with no meaning).
I still believe that a conviction on a charge like this should make you ineligible to hold an ontario drivers license for your entire life. Get caught driving without one and it's an automatic year inside (with no lag, get pulled over, go see judge with video of you driving on a permanently banned license, judge sends you from the station to jail).

EDIT:
Confirmed one family. Grandma, Mom, Dad, 15 year old dead. 9 year old in hospital expected to survive.
Intentional act, victims targeted for being islamic. (So this doesn't belong in bad drivers, this belongs in the murderous ******* thread). Four charges of first degree murder, one charge of attempted murder.
