Ontario Provincial Police are reminding drivers they need all four tires on a vehicle to drive on Highway 417.
Police say an officer noticed a vehicle driving on Hwy. 417 in the Ottawa area this weekend missing the front tire.
"The driver of the vehicle thought it would be a good idea to continue driving after his tire fell off on Hwy. 417, while he drove past a police car," the OPP said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Police say the driver was also uninsured.
"The driver faces a minimum $5,000 fine upon conviction," the OPP said.
