A Quebec driver has been charged for operating an unsafe motor vehicle after being pulled over by police in a totalled car on Highway 401.

Ontario Provincial Police shared a picture of a completely destroyed car stopped by officers on Thursday night after they received multiple reports of a damaged vehicle on the highway from other concerned drivers.

A video of the smashed-up white Toyota Corolla with Quebec plates casually driving along the busy highway through Oshawa began making the rounds on social media on Friday morning, showing a vehicle that looks like it shouldn't even be capable of driving — let alone safely.

The vehicle in question appears to have been smashed in with a torn-apart driver's side, a rear tail light barely hanging on, and a roof so compressed from what must have been a serious collision that the rear passenger headrests protrude through the entirely absent rear windshield.

In short, this thing has no business being on any road, and especially not a 400-series highway.

It'll buff out

Many users are commenting about the danger the driver put others in by taking this damaged vehicle on the busiest highway in North America.

Sadly, you can remind drivers to #drivesafe as much as you want but those who need to hear and heed it won't listen until it's too late and even more many still don't learn their lesson. #reality #selfish #DGAF

Other people are joking about the apparent indestructibility of Toyota cars.

But you sure as hell can try.....

Another commenter got a Monty Python reference in.

It’s just a flesh wound.

Motorists can breathe easy knowing that the car was towed following the traffic stop.

This bizarre incident serves as a reminder to motorists that tow trucks exist, and are a heck of a lot safer than illegally driving your damaged car after it has been involved in a serious accident.
