The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

Not enough but then it never really seems to be, when a life is forever changed because of someone's selfishness.

Hopefully there is an utter and perpetual ass-kicking on the Civil side. Now there is a criminal conviction, an employer/employee relationship, permanent disability and probably a fee other things a lawyer can sink their teeth into. Sadly, it won't return the person hurt to their old life path but you can inflict serious pain on the dbag. That may also encourage other dbags to be slightly less dbaggy as they can see that their actions may have lifetime personal consequences (I'm not naive enough to think they care about consequences to others hurt).

That might be a tough row to hoe, given that the employee was voluntarily in the car and the likely conversation that preceded it.
