A 36-year-old man may be waiting a while to get his driver’s licence after allegedly becoming angry and nearly running down pedestrians when he failed his test in Guelph.
Guelph Police say officers responded to a disturbance at a plaza on Woodlawn Rd. W. — near Hanlon Pkwy. — just after 4 p.m. on Monday.
“A male had become irate after failing his driving test and began yelling at staff,” police alleged in a statement released Wednesday. “He then entered his vehicle and began speeding through the parking lot.”
“He attempted to drive through a pedestrian walkway, narrowly missing four people, then did a number of ‘burnouts’ in the parking lot,” police claim.
Officers responded to the scene and found the man sitting in the driver’s seat of the parked vehicle.
The Brampton man, whose name was not released, is charged with dangerous driving and stunt driving.
“He was banned from driving for 30 days and his vehicle was impounded for 14 days,” police said.
The accused is scheduled to appear in a Guelph court on May 5.
