At least he'll fit in with his parents chosen place to live.

EDIT:
Crash happened Aug 27, arrest was yesterday. Did parents help to cover it up? They should be charged too.

First video in this compilation: Idiots on bikes meet idiot White Van Man, in Toronto. The Gardiner westbound, I would say.
"filtering past slow moving traffic"
dude gets one vehicle in front and it's not exactly slow moving traffic.
Also no license plates and carrying a spark plug, obviously anticipating its use.
19 from Brampton, 213 kmh on the 401 @ midnight driving a company car in these road conditions on no season tires. Perfect.
The road surface looks completely clear. I would not be interested in hitting a snowdrift at 213 in a kia though.

Gotta say 213Km/h in a Kia is kinda impressive. That engine must have been buzzing.
But still stupid.
Grrr. Some people just need to be dragged out of their vehicles and punched for a while.

I think a reasonable condition is to install a claymore instead of an airbag. Do it again and it will be the last time you screw up. Saves money on the next trial too.
I saw something really stupid the other day but stupid things are so common I can't recall what it was. It's like seeing pigeons on a bridge.
When my brother was a traffic cop 50 years ago he'd run into rent-a-cops thinking a badge and uniform made them an almost cop. Add a SECURITY decal and 19 year old ego and it's one more case of highway pinball.
213 in a Kia? Does that record on a module in the event of a warranty issue?
A friend was a GM service manager and had to deal with a customer complaining about tires out of balance. After a quick checkout he asked if they had a young driver in the house.
Yes, my son.
Tell him to stop drifting and doing donuts in parking lots. The new tires should come out of his allowance.
A friend had the decision made for him to buy a new pickup truck. He was heading back from London on the 401 (Right lane) and slowed down because of a car in front of him doing something odd. When he looked in his rear-view mirror, he realized the semi behind him wasn't slowing down so he tried to get onto the shoulder but didn't quite make it.
The semi tried to move left but only succeeded in hitting another vehicle. When everything came to a halt there were two vehicles in the ditch and no semi in sight. Fortunately there were no injuries but vehicles and tools will be well over $100K. Dry roads and no unusual weather conditions.
The OPP eventually caught up with the semi when it broke down from the damage. Apparently the driver was taken away in handcuffs, was driving while suspended and had a bad history, soon to be worse.
Part 1 Why was the car in front of him driving slow and edging off onto the shoulder? The last time I saw that the vehicle had just pulled out of a tavern. Hmmmm. Since everything happened behind that car without contact it just continued on.

Sounds like the semi driver was suspended with good reason. I wonder if they were an owner/operator because I would expect any reputable trucking company to know if their driver is suspended.
Reputable being the crux.
An O/O would have trouble getting his abstract past the insurer, suggesting another problem. Fleet coverage could let things slide.
When a driver has a crash and your fleet coverage goes up 50% the bean counters should wake up.
An electrical contractor I know had to let a guy go because he couldn't afford the van insurance for him.
I don't know how he got around the "Alcoholism is a disease and you can't fire a person for being sick" mindset.
There's a bar code and QR code on your license. How about a scanner at the weigh scales to see if they're valid?
@PrivatePilot how upset are modern diesels when you run them dry? What a moron. Not sure if he was trying to make it to cardlock just up the street or what but I can't imagine the fuel system will appreciate this treatment. This happened in Barrie this morning.
I had to bleed the injectors on a friend's diesel pickup once. Air is too squishy to get things going.@PrivatePilot how upset are modern diesels when you run them dry? What a moron.

I remember cracking all the fuel lines on an old tractor after running it dry. That was a pain. I've fuel starved a modern diesel once when it was crazy cold and it gelled but that obviously didn't introduce air so when it warmed up it was fine. I can't imagine this truck will be happy. Hell, dumping in 5 gallons may not even be enough to get the pickup fully submerged so you may not even be making progress when you start cranking.
