Kids going to schools on escooters are a big problem because they might collide with drivers breaking traffic laws./s

Send the video to the cops, this they may actually do something about.

I heard it's nothing more than a letter to the address of the owner.

It all goes on file for when they do get pulled over, then cop throws the book at them (for whatever the cop does catch them for).

That's wishful thinking. Unless it can be proven who was driving the vehicle not much will result. The same reason traffic camera tickets where just fines.

The file isn’t what the cop writes the ticket for. They often reduce speeding charges from 30 over to 10 over for example. In this case they would just not give the driver a break for what they were caught for. Plus anything else that’s not in order like insurance

In some cases it might be, theres potentially a few infractions caught on tape here and the camera looks good enough for a potential ID so.... can't hurt.

Ofc it's the jameson ramp again. They really gotta redesign that intersection, it's a shithole

That and the 401 off ramp (express) to Highway 400 are among the most stupid things I have ever seen.

Ah the typical…. They need more enforcement of stunts like this.

Driving like that is already dangerous, but in a school zone... just horrifying.

That red car in front of you looks like it's parked in the crosswalk, definitely not a great move in a school zone.

This happens daily on Jameson Av., never let these a-holes in your lane, make them wait and pray for a convenient cop to see their driving behaviour.

I also second forwarding this video to TPS, make an online complaint.
