Driver Fined For Carrying Unusual Load

We’ve all seen some bizarre things while driving in Mississauga, but this amusing sight is a little more rare.

And a little more dangerous.

On Sunday, July 29, Peel police took to Twitter to share a strange (and alarming) photo of a vehicle driving with multiple wooden planks sticking out of the driver’s side window.

Police say the vehicle was stopped at Mavis and Matheson, in the Heartland Town Centre area.

The driver was fined $160 for driving with what police are calling an insecure load.

Sometimes, it’s worth it to just rent a van.
