Ontario Police Stopped A Wrong-Way Driver Who Insisted He's 'Good, Man' & It's So Cringe (VIDEO)
York Regional Police released a new video showing an impaired driver travelling the wrong way in Ontario and the encounter he had with a police officer after being pulled over.
Police tweeted the video on Wednesday showing the conversation between the two, during which the man behind the wheel tells the officer he was "good."
The video of the incident, which happened in the early hours of December 31, 2023, starts by showing a police cruiser coming across a vehicle that was going the wrong way in the area of Bathurst Street and King Road in King Township.
The officer turns on the cruiser lights and stops as the car slowly rolls past the police cruiser with flat tires.
The vehicle then stops in the middle of the road as the police officer calls for a second unit to come and assist.
"Open the window," the officer says in the clip after tapping on the window.
"Hi. What's going on man," the officer asks the man in the car.
"I'm good, man," the driver replies.
"You're not good, man," the officer answers. "I think you're pretty drunk or pretty high right now."
"I don't know, man," the driver answers after admitting he was returning from a friend's party.
The officer then tells the man to step out of the vehicle and tells him, "You trashed your car, by the way" as the video switches to show all four flat tires.
The driver eventually admitted he had been drinking and was arrested by police.
In a press release, York Regional Police say fluids were seen "leaking from the vehicle" and all four tires were "severely damaged."
Breath samples were also over the legal limit and the driver was charged with impaired operation, impaired operation BAC 80 and two counts of driving while prohibited.
In the press release, police also shared they had charged 1,350 people with nearly 1,884 impaired-related charges in 2023.
"Despite a slight decrease in the number of arrests year-over-year, these numbers mean our officers are charging three impaired drivers each and every day," York Regional Police Chief Jim MacSween said in the release.
"Impaired driving remains the leading criminal cause of death in Canada and it will not be tolerated in York Region."
Police are reminding drivers not to consume alcohol or drugs when getting behind the wheel.
