General Road and Highway Discussion

According to CTV, the parking lot was completely empty with clear visibility at the time of the incident. It looks a lot like the victim was sitting at the end of that curb, and the driver was apparently so inattentive they may have actually pinned him under the car. WRPS say there is almost nothing they can charge the driver with because it happened in a parking lot. I guess it's ok to mow down pedestrians as long as you aren't on the road

Meanwhile in other parts of Ontario, I just met someone who was charged under the Trespass to Property Act for not driving in the lines in an empty parking lot, and the crown prosecutor was actually willing to take it to trial. Unreal.

There's more to the story there, I suspect.  I can't see what the nexus would be between not driving between lines and an act of trespass, which is not a driving offence.
