The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

Right before the Darwin Award?
Driver of Cayenne was seen fleeing the area. No description of the suspect. Male would be a 50-50 guess.
One less car thief. Struck down by his own stupidity. Running across the highway in the dark is a bad idea. He's worthy of the bad driver thread as he ran out of gas on the highway. I feel bad for the truck driver.

"Police previously said that the man had exited a vehicle and was believed to have been crossing the median when he was struck. The man, a 35-year-old from Waterloo, was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a news release issued on Tuesday, Hamilton police said that investigators have since determined that the pedestrian had stolen the vehicle from Kitchener earlier in the evening and abandoned it on the highway after it ran out of gas."

Unfortunately it won’t change the trend. Most thieves think they’re smarter than the police and also smarter than other thieves.One less car thief. Struck down by his own stupidity.

They can't be sitting on the divider waiting to ticket some SCUDs doing their best Pastor Maldonado imitation in the traffic circle. It's not like HRP has cared before. They must be there for a BOLO.
Someone reported hilarity in a local traffic circle a few days ago. A car missed their exit so they proceeded to reverse around the circle to get to the desired exit. There is no fixing that dumb. If you thought even for a second that was the best solution to your problem, we would all be safer if you were never allowed to drive again.They can't be sitting on the divider waiting to ticket some SCUDs doing their best Pastor Maldonado imitation in the traffic circle.

Ontario G driving test changes done without safety evaluations, auditor finds
A decision to remove certain elements of the G class driving test in Ontario was done without safety evaluations or formal approval from cabinet, the province’s auditor general says.
Its been happening for at least decades. The auditor general officially flagging it and quantifying it is new for me. Guelph conducting more road tests than Brampton is enough data to see how screwed up the system is.
Make them forced to take the exam in the postal code(s) they reside in. I’m sure long lineups will be the immediate outcry. Tough cookies.
That is an obvious and good first step. It would quickly bring testing center sizing in line with local demand.
Such an easy solution. And you can hire more people to get people run through the system faster.
People driving in the GTA getting tested in Guelph, Barrie, Sudbury, Orangeville or Brantford is such a dumbass move.

Single vehicle crash on 427. 42 yo driver died.
Wtf is happening here? Driver stopped on bullnose with lights off and wandering around on open road. Cars all over the place. Open lanes on the ramp and the majority of drivers are taking the left lanes of the highway and then across the bullnose? *^&*&^show.
EDIT:
Original crash may have been a wrong way driver. Infrastructure isn't designed for soft crashes in that direction.

This has been going on for decades, nothing new here move along. The report says 42% of road tests in Orangeville are by Brampton drivers. I would have thought it was higher by the number of Brampton Driving School vehicles I see around town.In more shocking news…

We've lived in Orangeville for over 30 years. When our kids were getting their licences (about 20 years ago), they had to wait months to get a road test slot because all the spaces were pre-booked by Brampton Driving Schools. When Graduated licensing came into effect it actually got much worse. The reason, these same big city residents could come up here and pass their G2 Exit without the need to demonstrate the skills needed to operate a vehicle on a 400 Series highway! We simply don't have a multi-lane roadway with a posted 100 km speed limit within 35 minutes of town. Since the road test is shorter than the time allows, they are not able to test in that environment. It shouldn't be any wonder why there is such carnage on the 410 every day.
