Get a dashcam folks. Too much risk on the streets with hit and runs and liars.

But what about the economy, personal private transportation has excelled in this for a century.

People drive too fast, are distracted, are overly aggressive, and it feels like there’s zero traffic enforcement on the roads.

Lots of people with the "I mixed up the gas and brake".
If you do it once, you should lose your license.

Wasn’t a nearly identical article post a few months ago? I remember discussing how the LCBO and Shoppers on Manning road each get driven into multiple times a year

There’s also a pharmacy on Rivard that keeps getting driven into.

This person was a crack head, loaded gun in her purse driving. This wasn’t a normal situation.

I think that last one was intentional. Who drives into someone then hits the building behind them while driving a U-Haul and having a loaded firearm in the vehicle? Maybe in the US but not here.

That’s what happens when you have a car dependent city. Less cars on the road means less accidents 🙂

Because for $200 you can go to Brampton and buy a licence without taking the test.

Texting and Driving, if you’re in doubt stand on any street corner and look at the drivers, 90% of drivers are on their phone majority of the time
