They said the driver stopped and charged (image below).
“If you make a wrong turn please own it, and adjust your route safely and inaccordance with the rules of the road,” advised the officers.
Washroom excuse… again
DRPS Traffic Services were out patrolling Brock Road and Mowbray Street in Pickering, which is regulated by a stop sign with visible stop line, said the officer on duty.
“The driver failed to stop and turned northbound in front of me as I travelled southbound. The excuse, he had to use the washroom.. Plan ahead,” the officer said.
Stunt drivers charged
Durham Regional Police Service pointed out that the warm weather over the weekend wasn’t the only thing COMING IN HOT!

Just two hours later, a driver was caught doing 117kmh. An 18-year old male, also from Oshawa, was charged.
Please slow down and obey posted speed limits, police said.
Cutting across lanes
DRPS Traffic Services said the driver of this dump truck (below) came off Highway 401 and Brock Road in Pickering and turned right on a red traffic control light.
The truck was going so fast he had to cross three northbound lanes of traffic and then cut back from the first to the curb lane which the cruiser occupied.
Several charges laid, said the officer.
