The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

Apparently the fuselage is bent enough that the doors wouldn't open.
I read about the door trouble but I didn't connect the dots about what it meant for the airframe.

Oh well - they can still cannibalize it for the rest of their fleet. They've had it for almost 30 years, it probably has more than a few hours on it

Video linked below shows plane today. Definite prop strike. The damage is even worse than it appeared from the original images. Wing appears to be a few inches aft of its home. Partout should have quite a few pieces still viable.

 
Good start for this one. Unlicensed 16 yo girl crashed at 3:20 in the morning and got quite a list of charges.


Police say she faces charges of taking a vehicle without consent and driving without a licence.

The teen from Bradford is also charged with impaired operation, careless driving, and failing to remain.

How does "Taking without consent" differ from theft?

Many years ago I loaned a bike to someone who let an unlicensed person take it for a spin. They crashed it but fortunately the only casualties were the shock tubes. Had there been a personal injury to a bystander how would the chain of financial responsibility go?

It looks like taking without consent can have a summary judgement and full theft requires a criminal trial prior to judgement. You can get taken without consent charge as a passenger.



"Taking a vehicle without consent, or “joyriding”, is a summary (less serious) offence punishable by a maximum of 6 months in prison, a fine of $5,000 or both."
 
It's also the term/charge most frequently used when a child "borrows" the vehicle of a parent, without their permission.
If it's an unlicensed driver and a serious big dollar crash can the insurance company refuse to honour the claim?

If yes does the owner go bankrupt?

Something to think about before loaning.

That may be the upside to the taking without permission charge. That should allow the owner to use their insurance to deal with the fallout. If you throw the keys to an unlicensed driver, the financial implications suck.

The insurer would likely pay out, but then good luck when you come up for renewal.
 
Some people just drive ridiculously faster than their reaction times warrant. I got passed on Clark Blvd. in Brampton, around 8:00am today, by a Mercedes that had to be doing 100 Kmh. It's a 50 (40 during school hours).
 
How does an innocent party prepare for that? If the speeding driver survived the wreck his survival should be corrected, Flying Spur Bentleys excluded.

What was the person injury count and has the driver been named?

Resulted in a vehicle fire. Two people ran and one was caught. One still outstanding. Two <GASP!> Mercedes from Quebec.

 
Likely living in the gta with out of province plates
1) Scrap HTA 172 and its kin.

2) Appoint 24/7 judges for cases of dangerous driving. Have them on call like other services.

3) Detain the alleged dangerous driver until a hearing before said judge.

4) If there is solid enough evidence of dangerous driving he goes to jail and fights his way out from there.

5) The charge should equate to attempted manslaughter.

6) Bail? Hahahahaha
