Sometimes there is justice
TORONTO, Ont. – How many times have four-wheelers suddenly decided to let you know you’re number one by giving you the one-fingered salute?
Over the Canada Day long weekend – on the final day of a blitz by the OPP Cottage Patrol – one driver was ticketed for doing just that.
The individual was driving without his seatbelt when a car pulled along side and the second motorist began gesturing for him to put the safety device on. He extended his finger and thought nothing of it. The only problem was the second motorist was actually a cop in an unmarked cruiser. He had decided to simply warn the man, but all that changed after the rude gesture.
Not only did the bird earn him a charge, it was also discovered the apparently short-tempered individual was driving without a licence or insurance.
