I was sent this link this afternoon, which is of a human powered vehicle, essentially a four wheeled bike that was once a Buick Regal.
Back on Oct 25, 2007 Toronto Police Const. Derek Walsh ticketed Dean Baldwin, who was the driver of the vehicle at the time, with driving a vehicle that was "Not even close to being legal."
The charges came before the court yesterday. The judge dropped the charge because the vehicle wasn't a motor car, which meant the specific charge of operating an unsafe motor vehicle didn't legally apply.

"According to Traffic Services Const. Mark Melby, a large number of the deaths are caused by pedestrians crossing at inappropriate times and places.
"Often they are jaywalking, crossing against the light or just being on the road when they shouldn't," he told CTV.ca, noting that clothing selection can also be a factor in pedestrian safety. "People that get hit are often dressed inconspicuously, wearing black.""
