The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

I've seen my fair share of indecisive squirrels run out on the road in front of me (the roads of the World are paved with them), but never a ferret.

Is there a thread on bad pedestrians?

Wednesday I was heading west on Eglington in the cage and came to a stop in the curb lane. To my left was a snub nose cube van stopped well over the stop line.

The light turned green and just as I started to accelerate three giggling teen princesses emerged from out of sight into my path. I hit the brakes and no harm done. Enjoy our nanny state.

There are rarely tickets given to bad pedestrians. If you hit a pedestrian who is breaking the law, chances are your insurance will pay out even if you are 100% faultless.

Lots of blame to go around here. Nobody looking far enough ahead. It looks like one brain dead driver stopped in a live lane for no reason. I don't know whether to congratulate the truck driver for not killing them or if that would have done us a favor.

Can someone explain to me the reason for the hose clamps?

A quick search shows me that it's a Winchester SXP shotgun. The pipe clamp further to the front would likely be because it's missing the magazine cap. I guess the owner jerry-rigged a replacement. I would guess the second is because the bracket between the barrel and the mag is cracked. If not then it could have been police making it safe, because that bracket clamp looks like it might be too far back for the pump to completely slide forward.
