Ketika kebanyakan bandar di serata dunia sudah mula mengenakan sekatan atau kawalan pergerakan, sekumpulan pemandu di Toronto pula mengambil kesempatan berlumba di atas jalan raya dan lebuh raya yang kosong.
Menurut laporan daripada akhbar Narcity, pasukan polis Toroto berjaya menahan 18 orang pemandu yang melakukan aksi berbahaya di sebatang jalan Don Valley Parkway.
Kebanyakan pemandu didapati melakukan kesalahan memandu melebihi kelajuan yang dibenarkan (88 km/j), iaitu antara 129 km/j sehingga 170 km/j.
Sabit kesalahan boleh dikenakan hukuman denda minimum US$1,385 (RM6,004), demerit enam mata, lesen digantung selama seminggu dan kenderaan disita juga selama seminggu.
Pihak berkuasa Toronto turut menggunakan platform media sosial demi mendidik rakyat Toronto supaya mengamalkan pemanduan yang berhemah sepanjang masa.
