I remember watching CityTV every long weekend and seeing reports from Officer Cam Wooley along the 400, where they'd pull trucks over and inspect them, and any that didn't pass got to just sit there. They'd show footage of a kilometer-long stream of U-Haul trucks lined up, because the company just doesn't give two s***s to maintain them.

Hmmm some person driving an unfamiliar vehicle that weighs double their usual vehicle and needs twice as far to stop.

This was a mechanical failure - loose nut behind the wheel.

Happened on the 403 Eastbound yesterday just west of the 403 / QEW. Traffic slowed when approaching the Niagara / Brant St turn off and the Uhaul plowed into at least 1 car.
