A Brampton man who protested his failed driving test by driving erratically and nearly hitting a number of pedestrians was arrested in Guelph Monday afternoon.

Just after 4 p.m. Guelph Police Service officers were called to a Woodlawn Road West plaza. A male had become irate after failing his driving test and began yelling at staff. 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. Responding officers found him sitting in the driver’s seat of the parked vehicle.

A 36 year old is charged with dangerous driving and stunt driving. He was banned from driving for 30 days and his vehicle was impounded for 14 days.
