Ottawa, Ontario — The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) recently pulled over a driver on Hwy. 417 for continuing to drive their vehicle with only three wheels after losing a tire.
According to CTV News, over the weekend, police noticed the driver in question after they continued down the highway following one of their front wheels falling off their vehicle.
“The driver of the vehicle thought it would be a good idea to continue driving after his tire fell off on Hwy. 417, while he drove past a police car,” said OPP on social media platform X.
Police also noted that the driver was uninsured at the time.
“The driver faces a minimum $5,000 fine upon conviction,” the OPP further said.
The OPP is reminding drivers that they need four tires to drive on the highway—especially if their vehicle started with four to begin with.
