9 months is an absolute joke. He showed complete disregard for the safety of others, and someone has a permanent injury because of him.
And his excuse was he was rushing home for a family emergency which was someone with a drinking problem.
If he’s not a Canadian citizen I’d deport him after the sentence too. In order to get citizenship you have to show you’re a person of decent moral character. We have enough problems in this country. We don’t need other countries’ problems too.
@@mervinprone So you're moving out?
@@martinc.720 Uh no. I’m not going to be chased out of my own country by losers of the world.
Canada needs to update sentencing hearing for any crime that involves death.

My old classmate lost his friend due to a drunk truck driver.
Truck driver was intoxicated so he just got his license for a year or so.
My friend who was getting robbed on camera had a gun( illegal) on him and gunbutt the assailant who had a knife and who had punched him twice and tried to grab his chain all on camera. My friend got charged for the gun the assailant didn’t get a day. 😑 if he didn’t have that gun he would have been dead but who cares right
Agreed or "serious injuries."
@@BajJamBeauty Sad. Welcome to the Trudeau regime laws. Pierre's Constitution rewards criminals. His son is just as stupid.
@@acreguy3156 yup the guy was actively trying to stab him so why weren’t they both charged? Instead our system treats the attacker like a victim when he’s even more guilty and a bigger menace to society & a known armed robber he just walked cause he sang like a canary about how traumatized he was by someone fighting back….
Nine months is to little.
*too
*too
hell nah he shouldn't be in jail one day bro
@@IamALotus What punishment would you give him?
@@EriPages30 days max or $1,000 bail. And obviously he’s gonna afford the bail so it’d be 0 jail time.
The person effected is gonna get his “revenge” when he sues the driver. He don’t deserve jail for that.
I almost laughed at my lack of surprise that it was someone driving a BMW
They're the worst, most arrogant and selfish drivers.
the only surprising thing about this he actually used his signal
it's ALWAYS a BMW
You're so right about this.
@@MixtapeofVideoswait that's carcist you can't say that!
Only 9 months? Not 9 years?
House Arrest so not exactly jail
That's Canadian justice for you. Ridiculous.
@@hendihorlings2341 He did not get house arrest.
@@martinc.720 He might get house arrest at the later parts of his sentence, just not right now.
Did he have insurance or a license 😊
This is one of the reasons I am looking forward to retiring from policing. After 25 years in the GTA, I give up. The public denand you get these idiots, once and a while you actually do and the courts are like "meh".
thank you for your service.
Thank you for your many years of service from Niagara, ont. Cheers 🍻
Appreciate what you've done, it's a shame the justice system has undermined your hard work.
@foxyjoe3308 Thank you for your service. A few years ago, I had to drive across Toronto on a weekly basis on Thursday nights. I thought it was uncanny, that almost every time there would be some driver that made me do a double take a double take (I.e did that driver really just do that?!?). Weaving between traffic doing 120 km/h, driving 2 feet off my bumper, ...
9 months in prison is a strict penalty?! When it comes to the criminal justice system, I am ashamed to be Canadian.
In Canada that’s a strict punishment we barely put anyone in jail
@@wolf3755 Thanks to Trudeau, we have violent criminals walking around in public like nothing happened.
I agree!! A person lost one eye and that equates to 9 months in prison!?!?! It doesn’t seem fair to me !!! That person life is changed forever !!! 9 months is barely a slap on the wrist !!!
He should not be allowed to drive ever again. WTF is wrong with Canada.
5 years in jail would be a start
If this penalty is on the tougher end there is something terribly wrong with the justice system.
This is not a strict ruling. The taxi driver lost an eye, he may never get a license. Full ban, impound vehicle , 5 years in prison and 50000 fine.
Passenger lost sight in one eye, driver's hand injured*
*One of the strictEST ruling recently, but not very strict in and of itself.
Full ban on driver’s license rarely ever happens. Driving is a constitutional right. You can be convicted of 3 DUI’s and you won’t lose your license.
@@wilhelmvg9978 where does it say it's a constitutional right?
@wilhelmvg9978 driving is a privilege and a right
It should be 5 years in prison
That way he wouldn't need his license either 😂
20 years
The most surprising thing is that the BMW driver used his turn signal.
It's complete disregard for the safety of others on public roads that causes more crashes like this every year. Should revoke license for LIFE, $50k fine and 2 years jail time. "Book 'em Danno!"
100% agree.
Agree!
nah 2 days in jail max lil bro
@@IamALotus And you would know?
The most shocking thing about it is that he had his signal on. I didn't even know BMW's had signals.
Great! hahaha that is so true
He is from canada, and he apologized, that is crazy😂
BMW = "Blinkers Might Work"
The judges name was Apple Newton 👀 that was shocking as well lmao 🤣
I think this guy needs to donate his brain for research..to see what went wrong with it..
I accept responsibility, but I am disappointed with the ruling and appealing the sentence. 🙄
He'll be driving next week and NO One in authority will care...
No way to know if this guy is driving with suspended license and with no insurance. I suppose he now don’t even need to pay for insurance, all thanks to the judge.
@@MrMannyhwIf you don’t have insurance you can’t register your vehicle so the automatic plate scanners police have will pick up on that
@@TheDano1971 but cops rarely scan everyone. They will take their chances.
@@MrMannyhwYou clearly don’t know how it works the computer scans every plate in every direction and alerts the officer of unregistered vehicles
@@TheDano1971 oh haven’t seen one. I am too old school.
I see this almost everyday on the 401 between Kingston and Brockville, and the OPP seldom are around to catch these idiots, (except near Brockville, and entirely absent around Kingston). Enforcement of the traffic laws is lax (at best), and taking away a license for a few years does almost nothing (these idiots will be back on the road, without any license, within a few days, using either someone else's license or simply not getting caught again). The traffic courts in Ontario are a real bad joke!
Same sad story here in Toronto, we need more OPP enforcement to educate newer drivers otherwise we will see more preventable crashes like this one 😢
Agreed 100% .. or you call and nothing happens... this needs to stop ...!! Ever get almost jolted out of your seat by the loud sport cars exhaust pops or how bout the motorcycle going so fast you just seen a dot.. seems like the laws are only to punish their own selection !

Judge was probably gonna give him 3-6 months until he heard his excuse
"Justice... did not accept. She said..."
If 9 months in jail and a 5 year driving ban is considered "on the tougher end" this country is an even bigger joke than I thought it was. Should be 10 years in jail and a lifetime driving ban, that's tough.
Community service!! Infucking real. Should be sent to jail for 9 years. Absolutely absurd sentence!!!!!!
The most amazing feature in this video.
Is the fact that he used his blinker.
I didnt know bmw's had those 😂
The fact that the driver was aware his car even had blinkers is more amazing 😆
Sure, it’s okay to drive recklessly as long as you signal your lane changes, right?
He should be banned from driving for life!! After that if ever caught behind the wheel (driving illegally) he goes to jail for that. 9 months jail is a bit of a laugh, couple years more like it.
That’s what they call tough? The example at the end from a death who got house arrest is outrageous
Of course its a BMW driver. Probably from brampton too
The guy is a Pole
Smoker?
You have a point there but "Jerczy Bogacz", doesn't quite sound like "Bramptonian" name to me. LOL.
Inndddiiiaaaaaa
9 months in prison is a joke!!!!!!!
Nine months is not long enough!!
That wasn't much of an apology and not much of an excuse.
Joke sentence from a joke justice system that is fed joke drivers (in Ontario) from a joke G2 exit testing standard. Drivetest is still using the modified COVID road test - no parallel park, no 3 point turn (therefor no reversing), no roadside stop reduced markable corners, business sections, lane changes, stop & through intersections etc. Oh and did I mention the joke route trainers (excuse me, I mean "driving instructors"). The MTO and the minister responsible should be ashamed of themselves but hey teax revenue is the priority over road safety I guess.
Well said. Scandalous all round. Weaponising a vehicle like that is worth a four year term.
I fail to see how learning how to do a 3 point turn would keep anyone from doing what this clown did.
Doug Ford was elected on the promise to make it as easy as possible to drive. No license fees. No environmental inspection of cars. No gas tax. More highways. If you don’t like the result, don’t vote for Doug Ford next time.
@@martinc.720 It's the lowering of standards. It starts by learning, practicing & earning a license. It's supposed to be a privilege to drive and a respected responsibility. When a credential isn't earned or given with little to no effort standards (road safety in this particular matter) are reduced and the consequence has become increasing incidents such as this. I know it's hard to see but please apply this train of thought to certain aspects and outcomes within your life and society as a whole.
@@martinc.720
Totally agree,
Courts in Canada are simply a business nothing more,
Courts love to see the cash flow in, it guarantees innocence.
An old bmw e90, no surprise. It’s replaced the g35/g37 for stupidity. Will be back on the road in no time driving with a suspended license and in another e90.
Oh, I remember the G35 era like it was yesterday. Dark times. **shudders**
And the guy will never get his sight back. :( 😬
Ah, he could sue him, but he would never SEE the money...
@@joegibbons9387not the time for silly jokes
Only 9 months what a joke!
That is a clear example of a joke justice system in canada.. penalty must be minimum 3 years, max 10 years. Pleading guilty for driving recklessly should agrevate the penalty of imprisonment.
This type of driver is not new in Ontario highway, and it seems many around because nobody gets caught yet.
Same problem in BC. They don't care anymore because of the weak penalties. Only one type of justice in this country.
9 months. Ridiculous
5 years? Never again! They should NEVER be trusted again with the operation of a motorized vehicle ,including a sit down lawn mower.
Dangerous drivers should NEVER be allowed behind the wheel ever again, These fools thinking driving is a right, it's not, it's a privilege and they abuse it.
Pathetic sentence. 10 year driving ban, needed
I live at the lake in Canadian Shield country year round. During the winter locals drive responsibly. During the summer city folk drive dangerously and risk lives just to spend 10 minutes more at the lake.
This person should never drive again and should be put behind bars for 15 years.
9 months in jail is considered strict? I beg, what is the 'lenient' and usual penalty?
The law needs to get tougher on ALL types of criminal behaviour. I work with young offenders, and let me tell you, it's a joke. Some of them have told me they would probably have stopped breaking the law if the law had been tougher on them in the beginning. Upwards of 50 and 60 B&E charges dropped, car thefts dropped, assault charges dropped! Where is the deterrent???
Holy 💩….. that’s bad!!!
9 month?? who come up with these stupid laws? dude probably come out of jail before the taxi driver could recover from his injuries...
As a Born and Raised an Canadian Citizen r driving laws are way too light when it comes to dangerous and reckless driving causing bodily harm. House arrest for causing death That's soo light.If I lost my eye sight in one I would want a massive settlement.
Goid luck you can't sue in this commie country 😂
I see idiots like this weaving in and out of traffic almost every time I’m on the 401
The real problem here is that someone who killed someone got off with a lighter sentence. This points to a very evident flaw in our judicial system.
Just 9 months? Slap on the wrist. Should be 5 years.
This should get the same prison time as Attempted murder.
9 mos in prison? and only 5 yrs of DL suspension? what the fork? sentence should be 5 yrs in prison then 9 mos suspension of his DL upon release from prison! no wonder we have lots of crazy drivers roaming around in this world😡
9 months ? That's it ?
If only slow moving traffic stayed on the right lane
Driver's like this p*ss me off big time. "Hurr hurr I don't have to drive like you! Hurrrrrr lol, I've convinced myself I'm such an effing amazing driver that I don't have to care about scaring the p*ss out of you, hurr hurr! Look at me weave in and out of cars like a J*ck*ss! OH NO I JUST HIT SOMEONE uh it was an emergency and I had to get home fast and it turned out this happened after my work day ended and if you were to go back and check highway cameras you'd see me driving the exact same way at the same time of day Monday to Friday but no no, family emergency".
There are so many cars today that have incredible power and out of this world top speeds and they are so easy to acquire by drivers who cannot handle them or respect their limits. I don't know what the answer is but it is getting crazy out there.
Ya blame the car 🚗 😆
@@bobkk-ev5ls Robert is NOT blaming the car. He's blaming the idiots who weaponize their cars.
EV cars have more power and can hit higher speeds quicker. Not to mention they're heavier than engine powered cars. As EV adoption increases, reckless driving will become even more dangerous.
@@acreguy3156 send em back to eastern europe
All due respect what’s the point of modern cars having quicker speed and acceleration if our laws are reducing speed limits every decade or so. It takes nothing to be at 30km. Maybe we should go back to 3-4 speed cars with the increase in irresponsible driving
Should have been many years sentence and lifetime driving ban.
5 years?
How about lifetime ban?
Driving is privilege, not a right. We don't need him on the road, ever.
9 months in jail won’t cure stupidity
Canada needs to update the licensing laws. Should be mandatory training and testing for all Canadians AND "new" Canadians.
They do, and it's immigrants teaching other immigrants how to drive
Well there is that already but it's clearly not sufficient
I've heard that too.@@craigcull2360
This man's reckless driving says nothing about the driver testing system.
That will not deter idiots from driving like they have a death wish!!!
Haha. Thats the anchor that Mike Tyson scared the s out of a few years back 😂
How about an eye for an eye (especially literally in this case). The Canadian justice system is pure crap
This looks like the intro to a Hitman level. The client is the family of the passenger who lost their eye.
I saw an audi drove like the other day, the car had no plate!
Yeah, Audi, BMW and Honda drivers are the worse.
@@COSMACELF1802 So, there are worse?
He should get at least ten years. The sentencing and enforcement for driving offences in canada is a joke.
Nine months and 5 years? Seems like the court just gave him a slap on the wrist.
9 months in jail?!?!? That is crazy, the penalty needs to be more severe!
3 years in prison is about right.
typical BMW not even surprise at this point
9 months for a car accident is crazy! that's a long time.
only 9 months behind bars. 2 have been seriously injured. Depending on how severe the injuries, the reckless driver should have gotten atleast, minimum 10 years!!
9 months is not even enough. Too many reckless driver on 400 highways and in Gardiner. If the jail time will be longer then probably recklessness will be reduce. Most of the reckless driver have money to pay the fine. That's why they can get away easily.
It's a House Arrest so he won't spend time in jail
Innocent lives at risk because of idiots like this on the road and they are only charged for 9 months imprisonment?? We need more strict laws in this country
this is the news anchor who interviewed mike tyson and got insulted
That really sucks loosing your sight because your cab got rear ended by this guy.
This is why I practice defensive driving and let other pass when I am in fast lane, its the BMW drivers fault but that won't bring back your body or life if this happens to you. Be vigilant.
9 months is a slap on the wrist.
9 months is a joke considering the victims’ lives are changed forever
I drive to Toronto regularly and its always sucks. The traffic and the aggression are out of control.
You're appealing a 9 mo sentence? Unbelievable.
An appeal? Year sure, make sure your client gets a tougher sentence if they actually decide to hold up the courts when they already got off easy.
Only 9 months??? a Joke1
10 years minimum. No early release...
Driving like that is crazy and selfish. He should have gotten a tougher sentence for sure.
the fact that the lawyer says he may appeal shows how horrible of morals even the lawyers have.... if I was defending him I wouldn't appeal I would be happy hes off the street.
I came back from Kingston when a car blew between me and a car in the other lane. To this day I’m not sure why we didn’t lose our front bumper. It was that close.
Driver thinks "GTA" is Grand Theft Auto
After the civil suits he'll be taking the bus for the rest of his life.......
Sickening; he could have easily killed someone in the car ahead. Ignorance is no excuse and 9 months is a joke. Get the judges off the podium as their meds are impairing them.
Someone lost their eyesight but 9 months in prison only. Wtf…
Will the victims be able to sue for loss wages, medical expenses, or even pain and suffering?
the only reason this should be appealed is for a tougher punishment. i wonder how disappointed that lawyer will be if his family member was a victim to some moron behind the wheel driving into them
he should spend a couple of years in jail
Should be deported to Poland if that is possible (after serving the full sentence). 9 months for half blinding someone for life is a sad joke. Not justice.
Average BMW owner:
Yeah, Honda drivers no better.
Enter "why are BMW drivers" and see how Google autocompletes that
Willfully driving like this is ATTEMPTED MURDER IMO.
We were hit by a drunk driver while sitting in a cab last summer as well here in Toronto
lower tolerance for dangerous driving ??? NO tolerance for dangerous driving !!!
There’s no excuse for this type of reckless behaviour.
It sounds absolutely rudimentary, however this clearly demonstrates how dangerous passing on the right hand side can be. Calling it an “error” is ridiculous, as this type of move is quite possibly an old habit, and his ‘luck’ simply ran out this time.
Before you berate me for making such a simple statement, maybe observe the next person you see making this type of manoeuvre, and see if they end up having to mash their brakes to avoid a collision.
A nine month sentence is no walk in the park, but losing the use of an appendage, or one’s eye is absolutely life changing.
This is everyone, everyday driving in Vancouver BC, and if you horn for their so called "dangerous driving" you are in the wrong for causing distribution
Stay outta the passing lane gramps
@@SAT1337 yeah they need to update the driving rules. Right curb lane is for passing, school zone speed limit is 100km/h. Following distance is 5cm / 0.1 sec whichever is closer
9 month that it ?? why not 10 years in jail ban for life driving showing off has BMW so What Loser
too fast yes, inexperience also a factor, speeding up behind that mercedes SUV, blind not knowing or seeing past it that there was a car in the right lane... Just plain stupidity.
Thats pathetic. Dude should be in jail for a minimum of 5 years
These kinds of drivers have built a habit/behaviour/urge of driving like this…. No amount of jail time will fix this… clear danger for everyone - punishment should be lose license for life …
Give him another 9 months for that ridiculous excuse.
