Fack. Cancel his license already. 10 am on a tuesday on Hwy 400 and BAC was ~0.4 after he'd had a bit of a nap. Some offences should just be one and done. If driving is truly a privilege, he has lost it and should never get it back. This wasn't a miscalculation. 53 yo male from New Techumseth.

News report says he hit the barrier and continued on. If that's the case, cops should have laid a fail to remain charge as well.

"a driver who was found to have a historic level of alcohol in their system."

LOL... not something you want to be tagged with.

Well, they didn't win. They got silver. Even worse. Can't even win at that. Their life is obviously going well when BAC is 0.4 at 10:00 am.

  • BAC Over 0.40%: This is a potentially fatal blood alcohol level. You’re at risk of coma and death from respiratory arrest (absence of breathing).
Impressive they could even get in the car.

And they made it an onroute. They had done at least 5 km on the 400 plus some more before that.

As for potentially fatal, I suspect this wasn't the guys first day drinking. He was quite coherent. I know many girls that are far more wobbly at 0.08 than he was at 0.4. I'm not sure how far high tolerance lets you shift the lights out point.

Broke my buddy's old record of .33 on the Niagara Parkway @ 10:30 am. *

* he wasn't tested for drugs. I can guarantee he had a few Percs in him at the time.

It would be interesting to know if the horn was that car. It seems plausible. That car was hard on the brakes, let go and accelerated just before impact. Sure looks like a premeditated hit. Car seemed annoyed by bike so they took them out to teach them a lesson. Obviously we don't have the whole story (and never will) but it sure looks like horn and brake preceded gas and crash. That would imply that car new cyclist was there and did the opposite of what they are legally required to do.

Looking at it on a bigger screen it does look to be on purpose.

My new analysis... the car hugged the parked car either to prevent the cyclist from going past on purpose or just how he ended up in traffic. If you look closely it looks like the cyclist went around the parked car and you can see what looks like him coming down off the curb on the far right of the shot and it puts them in front of the car. The wobble could have been the cyclist doing a bit of rebuttal blocking afterwards or it could be poor skills and regaining control after dropping off the curb... Then car rammed him on purpose.

Not uncommon for drivers to pull the curb hug to prevent cyclists from passing at a light as a prick-shot move. I know they loose their **** when you derail their attempt by going around them one way or another.

At that BAC couldn’t they just throw a match at him and break open the marshmallows

I tend to hug the curb when turning right and I'm ahead of the cyclist.
That way they have to do what they should, and go around on my left, or do something illegal, which oftentimes they also do.
If they do, you could always post it in the bad riders thread, rather than running them down.

Lucky they are alive to be honest, couple summers ago near the Ford plant same thing happened when they were moving around the exits. Resulted in double fatality I believe.

To be honest a lot of the construction guys aren't geniouses when it comes to placing signs. There is a safety psychology that studys what makes an exit automatically look like exit. Just throwing out some faded orange cones isn't enough.
 
Are any of the recently posted Twitter links of a bunch of bicycle cops getting taken out by a runner, in Toronto, On Saturday July 22?

This is a good test case of driving as a privilege vs a right. I think the only reasonable driving consequence is a lifetime ban for that behaviour. I don't care that she was young. She intentionally tried to kill someone, she can walk for the rest of her life. We all know there is close to 0% chance of that happening.
