i saw almost the same thing happen at metro. some asian guy driving a mazda 6 was driving like the X5 driver. but instead of driving over two cars, he drove into a solid wall, deploying his airbags.

He probably thought he was pressing the brake pedel, wasnt stopping, panics, and slams on the brake pedel. Too bad his foot was actually on the accelerator.

Looked like he was going very slow until the very end when he wanted to park. Must've mistaken the gas pedal for the brakes!

Re-reading what I just wrote. It sounds more likely if it was a she

Not gonna lie, I've done that once or twice when I wasnt paying attention. But I was able to stop myself before anything bad happened.

I think I would seriously shit my pants laughing if I saw this X5 incident happen in real life

is there a story behind this? ie. did they catch the driver? i'm assuming this is the gym's private lot so i'm assuming that this driver would be a regular and shouldn't be hard to catch?

lol, it's hilarious when he was slowly creeping out, like he was looking around if anyone saw him....

but I'm not surprised at all, I've been in Toronto for about 2 months now and in just the time I've been here I've seen more shitty asshole driving than I ever have in all my years in Vancouver.
People here take cutting you off in a dangerous manner to a whole notha level, nobody seems to give a fuck about safety on the roads, they will damn near kill you on the road and still give you the finger like it was your fault...

all over the city huge 5+ lane freeways that are always traffic jammed somehow and it's probably the main reason people drive like idiots here, everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere.... but being tailgated at half car length doing 120km on the freeway, I've never ever gotten that in Vancouver, and here I get it few times a week....

and the quality of the streets I can't even put in words, but I can try by comparing some of the worst streets in Vancouver is what normal streets are like here

York Regional Police charged Tripta Kaushal, 62, on Wednesday with failing to remain at the scene of an accident. She is to appear in court Dec. 1.

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/arti...o-charged?bn=1

Just a few hours after a YouTube video went viral of a BMW SUV driving up and over two parked cars, a Richmond Hill woman has been charged.

York Regional Police charged Tripta Kaushal, 62, on Wednesday with failing to remain at the scene of an accident. She is to appear in court Dec. 1.

The video has been picked up on websites around the world and been declared one of the world's worst parking jobs.

The driver of the BMW SUV X5 in the Extreme Fitness lot pulled into a space and kept going, up and over two parked cars. One of them belongs to Todd Jamison, systems administrator at the gym, whose voice shook Wednesday when he described how his car was destroyed. The other reportedly was a rental car.

"It sort of sucks," he said. The rogue vehicle backed off Jamison's 2004 Hyundai Elantra and another car, then stopped, paused, backed out of the space and drove slowly out of the lot. The footage, which aired locally on CP24, can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do6pmYfNco0.

York Regional Police had been looking for the hit-and-run driver since the demolition derby Oct. 22.

The damage to Jamison's car was "quite extensive," said York Const. Marina Orlovski and the SUV probably damaged its undercarriage.

Jamison and police had few leads. The surveillance camera at the lot on Yonge Street in Thornhill failed to pick up the licence plate or clearly show the driver or passengers. But Jamison recognized the truck, said Orlovski.

"You certainly don't see that everyday."

Major coincidence today... I was playing in a pool league, and one of the players I played against pulled out his iPhone to show a video about his brother's car being totalled... and once he said Toronto, I knew right away that he must have been referring to this incident. And yeah, this guy is the brother of Todd, and he was saying how since Todd was a systems administrator there, he went back over older footage to find other times that X5 had been there, and compared that to the signin logs to find out who it was. They actually waited for her to come back to the gym for her next scheduled session, and that's when they got the police to come and charge her.

I hope that Jamison guy got his Elantra written off. I'd be happy if I were him. it means I could get a newer and more decent car lol.
