What is that, a $500 fine?
Looking at the picture, it's easy to imagine that nincompoop making a similar error in another situation and killing someone or multiple someones. It was lucky that the action was here and hopefully driving over the LRT tracks in the process of colliding head-on with another vehicle slowed his truck down. And the charge is "careless driving." What a joke.
According to https://www.ontariotraffictickets.com/ca...g-penalty/:
* fine $490 to $2,000
* loss of six (6) demerit points
* mandatory licence suspension for novice drivers
* possible six (6) month suspension for all drivers
* serious offences possible six (6) months in jail
This crash seems to have caused an injury. The penalties for careless driving causing bodily harm or death are greater. The fine is $2,000 to $50,000, with a suspension of up to five years, and up to two years in jail.
You know almost nothing about what happened, but you think that a charge of careless driving is a joke. What else would you charge them with?
