General Talk soconfused

Short version: Got pulled over early friday morning for 'improper rear lights'. The officer walked over, said,"i smell alcohol." She asked me to give a breathalyzer and I blew a 0.019. I'd had 1 glass of wine with dinner about 5 hours ago. Since I have a G2, the 0.019 is illegal

10 minutes later I…

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)

In my view, you have too many thread stickied. You should have no more than 2 threads pinned, the others should float like all other threads. This way the popular threads stay at the very top of this section of the board.

Just a suggestion, though.

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)

Hello everyone! This is a great site. I've been really impressed with all of the information here. Keep up the good work! :D

I've got a keen interest in traffic law and road safety. That's partly because I'm in the process of slowly writing a book about driving (talking about local driving habits, weird incidents, traffic laws, driving smarter, etc.) Most of it will deal with driving around the GTA. If anyone has any suggestions/comments/ideas/input, let me know! It's still a work in progress.

Also, on a non-HTA topic, if anyone has any questions about airlines, aviation or flying, you can also PM me and I'll do my best to respond.

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)

Hi all,

First time on any forum, but I have spent a few hours today reading the very helpful information available here. I was ticketed two weeks ago (details coming soon) and found this site by seeking information on the validity of the ticket and resources needed in fighting it. I think I have found a place with mature and insightful advice... thanks to those who have built and run this site.

To have your picture show in posts (which I fixed for you above), do the following two steps:

1. Use BBCode enabled (this is by defualt, unless 'Disable BBCode in this post' option is checked)

2. Use the BBcode

Code: Select all

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)

The number "8" represents a emoticon. Each tim you cite the number 8 in a provison the emoticon appears instead of the number.

You should remove that emoticon or change it so it's not represented by the number 8.

These are standard emoticons. If you want to disable smilies in posts then check the option "Disable Smilies in this post".

And the number "8" by itself is not a smiley.

This would make a smiley:

Code: Select all

8)

which would look like this 8)

Just remember if you want to disable smilies in posts make sure to check the "Disable Smilies in this post" check box.
