CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?!

TRI-WHEEL TRIALS

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. Police originally 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.

REFLECTIVE RISKS

One Tesla Cybertruck owner, Tyson Garvin recently machine-polished his vehicle to a mirror-like finish, making it nearly invisible on the road. In an act of unintentional camouflage, Garvin’s machine-polished Cybertruck reflects its environment so that he is essentially driving around with mirrors on his vehicle. “It doesn’t have all the porous stainless steel that holds all the oil from your fingerprints,” Garvin originally told Business Insider. “When we ordered (the vehicle) on Tesla’s announcement day, I knew I was going to polish it that day.” Despite the potential hazards of a mirror-like finish, Garvin further told Business Insider that thankfully, the vehicle’s tailgate points slightly downward so that other vehicles’ headlights don’t reflect perfectly across the Cybertruck. Still, many Reddit users have voiced concerns about the legality of driving a stainless steel disco ball.

The polishing process needed to make the Cybertruck near-invisible reportedly took 120 hours to complete.
