This one had me staring at the computer screen like this: :shock: This morning, just after midnight, Odot spotted a car blasting down the 401 at high speed near Chatham. The officer stopped the 25-year-old driver in a 1992 Honda Accord who was going 167 km/h. The driver was charged with: - Stunt driving, marked departure from the lawful rate of speed; - Speeding 167 km/h in a 100 km/ zone; - Failure to surrender valid insurance card; :roll: - Failure to surrender valid permit; :shock: - Failure to lower headlamp beams. :x Now here's the part that I hope you're sitting down for. He had a reason for leaving his high beams on and blinding oncoming motorists. :shock: The driver said that his windshield was dirty, so to compensate for the obscured view, he turned on his high beams, at 167 km/h, at night, on an unlit highway nicknamed "Carnage Alley." Obviously, this guy never played connect the dots as a kid; most people with a dirty windshield would have used their windshield washer fluid and wipers, or stopped and cleaned the windshield. I do not know how the officer managed to deal with the guy without laughing until he cried. Here's the story from the Windsor Star: http://www.windsorstar.com/Windsor+high ... story.html

I got a careless driving ticket and I was involved in quite a serious accident. I was driving at about 60 km/h arriving towards a stop sign. Unfortunately when I tried to stop, my shoes were sliding off from my foot as they did not have any strap and were perhaps oversized and slippery. I could…
