I doubt that they would stop there again after having a rather substantial mass only miss them by perhaps 2 feet.

Yeah speaking of Farm tractor, equipment. Don't they require some sort of running lights?
I had an experience the other day returning from my day trip, got a bit late getting home and with the short daylight I got caught in the dark around Little Britian. Going along the little hills I caught a glimsp of something in the dark between the dips, yup some giant tracker with a trailer taking up a full lane. The only reason I noticed, it was turning into the lane in front of me and that reflective triangle shimmered, but other then that no lights.
Lights required. Angry face. Beginning of the summer a biker lost their life piling into a backhoe near port hope. Just because other people are supposed to do things doesnt mean much. We need to assume they are bigger idiots and not overdrive our headlights.
Had a tractor come through the neighbourhood yesterday in a three lane 80 zone, taking up two of the lanes.
He was trailing some folded up implement that would cut you into a thousand pieces if you hit it.
It was broad daylight and he had his lights on. Tractors are out and about now, be careful.

Too bad they didn't catch him live and do a Breathalyzer!
Well he did catch a criminal charge at least. That should be good for a few years of him off the road and water (I would hope, but given our crapass justice system, probably not).

DUI charge would have been a lock for 1 year of no road & water activity and I'd bet a lot that he had a few brewskies in him. Sober people don't normally do sh*t like that, do they?

Its 2020, people are just nuts right now in general..
If it's a Criminal Code charge of dangerous operation, then it could also be serious jail time.
Wow. I've never had the urge to get drunk and drive a crane across the province. I would say these charges should ruin his career but it sounds like it is not the first time he has been caught.

The "Drive motor vehicle, not equipped with an ignition interlock device" means that he had already been convicted of Impaired Operation and was under orders to use an ignition interlock. Things will be very messy for him.Wow. I've never had the urge to get drunk and drive a crane across the province. I would say these charges should ruin his career but it sounds like it is not the first time he has been caught.

Went down to Welland this weekend. Not sure how in the world there's anyone left alive driving in the GTA.
People are cruising along slowly in the left lane, right from the 416 now. There's almost no traffic, but what there is, is backed up for kilometres.
Be careful out there.
