Slow and steady wins the race.

One Brampton driver learned that lesson the hard way on Monday morning.

According to Peel Regional Police, the driver sped through a parking lot at Ray Lawson Blvd. and McLaughlin Rd. and crashed into two concrete poles around 8:20 a.m.

The driver was cutting through the parking lots of the strip mall to avoid waiting at the streetlights while taking his two children to school.

The vehicle ended up in a rather unique situation.

No injuries were reported in the crash.

According to police, the four-foot poles mark the beginning of a ramp for a nearby accessible parking spot.

Needless to say, the driver’s kids were late to school.
