The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

For the plate removal... if at some point I had to remove my plate it is usually a small struggle with seized screws and if I was on the road would I even have the right screwdriver. So... could it have been a dealer plate?
Also, if they were regular Ontario plates the front one would need to be removed as well... if they were stolen plates (or a stolen car) plates wouldn't matter as they won't go back to the driver. I think they should be taking a good hard look at dealer plates/listings.

Dealer associated vehicle also has a more clandestine path to repair (although hopefully someone associated throws the prick under the bus).

EDIT:
They arrested him.

The front plate might have been left at the scene.
With Peel regional ps some passerby could have found the plate a couple of days after the collision and turned it in.

A friend got a T bone hit and run on his Goldwing. The perp left his front license plate embedded in the wing side box.

His comment when cops showed up was “I guess I should have stopped” Yeah genius.

Genius was in custody before buddy was admitted to hospital, fortunately with minor injuries.

Despite it being unlawful, some people will run without a front plate because it looks "cleaner." Sometimes the plate is in the front window. Sometimes it's not there at all.

TBH Some car designs never allowed for a front plate without it looking like the plate was attached with shelf brackets. It's like driving a six figure car with a pyramid sign on the roof making it look like a taxi or driver training car.
 
Should I park my dump truck on active train tracks while waiting for a light? Sure, what's the worst that could happen? Oh $%@%@.

Sometimes I think there's a maximum IQ required to drive a dump truck.

It's good gesture to leave room for idiots to back up when you're first in line at a crossing. It also looks like the truck could have moved over to the centre lane and cleared the track if he had left maneuvering room in front of himself.

It's a good idea to stop where you can still see the rear tires of the vehicle ahead.

City drivers get confused when they see level crossings and school buses.

Acquaintances that work for rail companies stop at least 100m back from tracks. While I understand why, imo, that is excessive given the number of incidents that happen and it causes much confusion and chaos as often multiple people pass them to fill the giant void.

100 M is a lot but 100 feet is enough for a semi to back up. If people actually stopped at the stop lines it might help.

Retired fireman that worked P/T for my father stopped 100ish feet back from crossings. I asked him why when I was helping him one day and we were the first at a crossing as the lights/guards were activated. He said "I've cleaned up after the aftermath of these things jumping the rails and hitting cars stopped at crossings."
