It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

You get a lawyer if you want to prosecute a civil case to sue someone for damages, the crown prosecutes criminal cases. Arguably dangerous driving, property damage, potentially grevious bodily harm and fleeing the scene of a crime are all criminal acts. Also a civil case is easier to get over the line if the accused has already been convicted on a criminal charge.
