Brampton drivers filmed engaging in dangerous act that has the internet talking
On any given summer evening, you might be tempted to roll down your windows all the way and enjoy the breeze after cranking up your AC through the sweltering heat all day.
However, it seems like a group of Brampton passengers recently indulged in the exhilarating breeze a little too much after they were filmed dangerously hanging out of a vehicle's sunroof and windows.
Tell Me Your From Brampton Without Telling Me Your From Brampton. 🤦♂️

Would be the most Brampton thing ever if there was an accident at the end

Several respondents called upon Peel Regional Police to investigate the matter, while others insisted that the drivers should have their licenses suspended.
Shameless.

"Peel police arrested the guy racing his Corvette against a motorcycle, maybe they should at the very least give a couple seat belt tickets," one person wrote.
Now that's just stupid sunroofs are not made for that

It goes without saying, but hanging half your body outside of a moving vehicle is simply not worth it, as consequences for seatbelt violations may include two demerit points upon conviction, a fine between $200 to $1,000, and possible insurance rate increases.
Penalties aside, you also may put yourself and other drivers in danger. While we understand that completely basking in the summer breeze is tempting, cracking your window open in the future should do the job just fine.
