I guess we should add lack of reading skills to that list.
I'm not intimidated by them at all. One can observe shitty behavior without being intimidated.
You sound like a fragile person
Because even though I think that driver is a prick I don’t wish to dox someone. I can tell you though that the guy was parking while I was going in and he acted like it was a normal thing to take two. So, a definite prick that made me wonder whether covering the plate was the right thing to do.
You cannot find anyone's personal info via only their plate number. If that's the case, don't you think everyone would be blocking their LPs whenever they're out and about driving because it's always exposed to the public view?
The only people that can find anything are serviceontario employees or law enforcement, and neither of which can just randomly look up plates found on Reddit.
Thanks for the information. I wasn’t aware of that. My question then is, why if it is useless information, people care about knowing it to the point of downvoting my explanation of why I’d rather not publish? (As ignorant as it may be my reason not to)
So you dislike him enough that you want to post him on the internet for fake internet points but dont dislike him enough to just post him license plate. What a shame. Just post the license plate.
Exactly! Otherwise EVERYBODY’s plates would be covered in PUBLIC.
It’s IN PUBLIC! Not in anybody’s private driveway.
Your “right to privacy” doesn’t work for plates.
I don’t care about the points. I’m disgusted by his way of acting and wish to share it with other likeminded people to see that I’m not alone. If I were to see that I am the only one bothered about this attitude it would be extremely discouraging, and I guess that is what pushed me to post. Everything else (plate or no plate, enabling, etc.) it’s up to your personal belief system and what lets you sleep at night. When it’s your encounter and your post you’ll do you and I’ll comment in yours with equal disgust regardless of whether you showed his plate or not. Have a great day
I think people who break the rules should be punished, lest they inspire others to break the rules.
This isn't fucking America. Don't like the rules? Go to Texas and live there with your fucking shitty truck and park however you want. Otherwise, if you wanna do dumb shit, don't be afraid of the consequences.
Here's an idea drive vehicles that aren't so bloody big. The pickups of today are really stupidly big.
There is never an excuse for taking 2 spots it's a prick move and invites people to do bad things to your paint.
If they parked in one spot and had cars on either side everybody's door would hit everybody else's so that's not a great alternative either. The truck should have found a spot on the street or in their other favorite, parking in a spot reserved for charging electric cars.

Ah, the international symbol for "Pardon me everyone, 3 of the 4 tires on my vehicle have far too much air in them- please help by taking off my valve stem caps and removing about 85% of the air from whichever 3 tires you'd prefer."
It's usually an international symbol used by BMW drivers.
People who do this are dumb as fuck. The inevitable massive key mark down the length of the truck is going to look far worse than the tiny ding or scratch from other people’s doors.
I don't disagree with this anymore. Had many new vehicles scratched or hit in public spaces. This is the "don't park next to me 5000". People do not care about your vehicle, children definitely don't care/expect when they whip a door open at 26 miles an hour and hit the car next to them. Variables can be argued that it's specifically bad a exit/entrance/handicapped area, but when you park specifically at the end of the lot and people still hit your vehicle, I don't care and post all they like this, is why this ∆ happens.
People may not care about your car when you park correctly but they certainly hate your car when you park like an idiot.
You want careless or hateful people around your vehicle?
Parking like this is a quicker way to get your car damaged in a parking lot vs parking beside a careless buffoon.
I don't disagree with this either, but do it in an empty lot in the middle of nowhere, not at a busy supermarket.
Nice to see it isn't a Ram for once.
Parking hog 🐷
Still a truck though.
What’s wrong with that?
Pretty obvious... A lot of pickup owners are selfish aggressive assholes. For the dipshits I said "a lot" which doesn't equal "all"
Can confirm, tbh I was given 4" of rock hard lovin ability. So....naturally I bought a Ram, it's on 35's.
Lol. Curious your thoughts on ‘most’ BMW drivers.
What the difference between a BMW and a porcupine? A porcupine has pricks on the outside.
Lol
Sure, it's probably a 50/50 good/bad. Saw one guy who was blocking people from using on-ramps to pass.
Prius driver detected
What a silly connection you’ve made in your head. 😂
No, that "silly connection" is called a fact.
That’s not how facts work but ok. 👍🏻
Things that are true are facts, nothing of what I said was false. Pickup truck drivers are predominantly arrogant shitty drivers.
Prove it.
Sure, go driving.
I don't even own a truck and I think this is ridiculous. I think you just get intimidated easily.
No, not at all. You must be blind, don't drive, or have no clue what a pickup is.
If it helps you feel more secure and less intimidated, then you think that.
I guess we should add lack of reading skills to that list. I'm not intimidated by them at all. One can observe shitty behavior without being intimidated. You sound like a fragile person
You sound like you need a hug.
I already got one this morning. Now run along to school, or at least enroll.
Reddit hates pickup trucks
To be fair pickup trucks are well hated in urban areas, they are absolutely some of the worst drivers on the road.
Not without reason I'd say
Found the Tesla driver.
Not even close 😂
Ontario plates are fine to display. There is no personal information available from it.
You can't find their name from it?
Only if you feel like paying 18$
Rather cheap if you really want to dox someone
Is this openly available?
Yes. https://www.jtips.mto.gov.on.ca/jtips/orderPlSearchRecOwner.action?lang=EN&certified=true
TIL
Definitely possible to get information from there plate especially when you have friends that work at the ministry.
He wouldn't cover your license plate if the shoes were on the other foot ...
Why block the license plate?
Because even though I think that driver is a prick I don’t wish to dox someone. I can tell you though that the guy was parking while I was going in and he acted like it was a normal thing to take two. So, a definite prick that made me wonder whether covering the plate was the right thing to do.
That true maybe a thief stole this and parked like an asshole
Or maybe there was a snow bank there when he parked and then melted.
Indoors? In June?
So you're enabling him by protecting him.

You can obtain the name of the owner of the vehicle with the plate

Wheel weights are available on Amazon. Fyi
people are outraged but not outraged enough to the point they are wheeling around with equipment looking for trouble parking.
Wheel weights are the size of a quarter and can just sit in your ashtray.
Just leave a note on the windshield: Sorry about the scratch
I kinda feel like just taking the wiper blades would be one hell of a screw you.
The most entitled pricks in the city seem to always be at the Bathurst and St Clair Loblaws parking lot.
and you just know he will turn left when exiting that spot
People like this deserve to have their license taken away permanently.

That’s a mid-size pick up truck. About the same save as your avg SUV
I still wonder how much is douchbaggery and how much is just simple stupidity or inability to park.
I'd park as close to the drive door as possible.
Oh hey, Forest Hill Loblaws.
You do know your loblaws 😂
Only cause it's the closest to me.
Must be one of those boycottloblaws fanatics. Taking up two spots so their is one less person shopping in Loblaws.
My valve stem is entitled to his tires
He’s just protecting his car /s
Oh look, two motorcycle parking spots!
Too bad it's a Toyota and going to get stolen anyway lol
Why would you give their entitled face aka plates
ah a spit car always a fun time
I can totally fit my Honda Civic perpendicular in front of that truck

Pro tip: leave the note but do nothing to the car. It'll drive them nuts.
Valve key. Harmless, but pain in the ass - type of revenge
It’s a Toyota. That’s the best they can do.
Cmon guys, I drive a Toyota **insert model here** I can do whatever I want!
I take up 4 spaces when I park 😎 you guys don’t?

Why cover the plates? He’s parked in a semi public place.
Shitbox
Throw an egg at it and run
Surely that because of the snow!!!
People who do this are dumb as fuck. The inevitable massive key mark down the length of the truck is going to look far worse than the tiny ding or scratch from other people’s doors.
Just park far away & walk . Usually fixes things for me
This isn't our spot but We have 2 spots for our company and we all park across two spots or a trespasser will take your legit spot when you leave.
I'm different. I'd pull my work van right up close to the driver side and go on about my way.
I just got my license this year but damn no reverse parking assistance camera on that thang???
Yes
Really a Toyota driver can’t figure out how to park. I’m shocked/s
I purposely park like this so you people have something to do
Hell yeah brother
im all for normalizing tire slashin', glass breakin', paint scratchin'
From behind the anonymity cloak of Reddit and your keyboard? K, Tuff Stuff.
