That seems like a flat-out stupid idea.

A 23-year-old driver has been charged with a slew of offences after driving his car on only three tires in Ajax on Wednesday.

Police received five complaints regarding the rim-witted motorist, who was driving in the Hardwood Avenue and Bayly Street area of Ajax at around 10:30 a.m. with a missing front tire and rim. The vehicle was located as it three-wheeled out of a nearby fast food restaurant parking lot.

Investigators determined the tire-less motorist had caused damage to both the roadway and a local resident’s driveway. The car, a 2011 Toyota, was missing the front drum’s tire and rim and scratched the pavement wherever it travelled.

The driver was arrested without incident. What he lacked in wheels he apparently made up for in other items inside the vehicle, as cops seized a small quantity of marijuana and a bong. The vehicle was not insured.

Kamden Johnson-Holder, 23, of Holliman Lane in Ajax, is charged with mischief under $5,000, dangerous operation, possession of marijuana, fail to comply with recognizance order and five provincial offences. He was held for a bail hearing.

Anyone with additional information regarding this incident is requested to call Cst. Barnett of West Division at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2521. Anonymous information can be sent to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca and tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward.
