Flat tire driver just needed to get to the casino…

There are many reasons to hurry, but perhaps an outstanding one was, to ignore a flat tyre to get to the casino.

While the Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) officers were keeping an eye on the roads, their ear caught a strange sound.

In Ajax near Bayly Street and Church Street, a DRPS officer heard this Honda coming from Squires Beach Road (images top and below), said the police.

“It drove on the flat tire in a posted 70kmh zone. Unbelievably, the driver was not impaired and just needed to get to the Casino,” said the police in a tweet.

Needless to say, the driver was delayed in his impelling drive to get to the casino.

74 above speed limit

Adrenaline rush and an electric car proved to be the bane of this driver (below), whose Tesla was caught doing 124kmh in a posted 50 zone in Ajax.

The driver now faces several charges including stunt driving. 14-day impound, 30-day suspension and a court date.

Can’t drive until after Christmas now, noted the police.
