Unfazed woman takes selfie from her car sinking through the ice in Rideau River

The first photo in article says it all...about as 2022 as it gets.

Dumb snatch was driving on the frozen river when it gave in. Seems she'd been driving on the river for quite a while, even. I hate traffic/redlights too, but...

As she stood on the back window of her car waiting for assistance, she was composed enough to take a smiling selfie. Before help arrived, the car had sunk to the point that just a portion of the roof was showing. She was able to climb on to the kayak and be pulled to the river’s edge.

...

Police said the driver was charged with one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
First, and only, thing in the article that makes an ounce of sense.

It happened in Canada, so it's a small relief to know this country doesn't completely have the market cornered on brain-dead fuckwittery (it just sometimes seems like it).

And I wonder why my insurance rates creep up.
