I would like to know how much did those people pay to get their licence. Clearly they must of know the instructor to get their licence. Shows like that just show how corrupt the whole system is. We get ticketed for 10 over and morans like that are allowed to drive. I love that show and watch it every week, maybe it should be a mandatory show to watch for instructors.

Re: Canada's worst driver
This group of CWD contestants seems worse than any of the others. I mean, drinking while driving and intentionally running red lights and STOP signs; racing another contestant on the way to the filming site, not to mention ON CAMERA; the "Wobble"; being unable to change lanes; looking everywhere but the road; driving into the oncoming traffic lane without realizing it; one contestant with 46 collisions... DANG. The fact that they all still have valid licences says a lot about the commitment to traffic safety in this country, or lack thereof. Bookm may have a lead foot but I'd much rather be sharing the road with him than anyone I saw on this episode, or, for that matter, many of the drivers I see on a daily basis. Yikes, this group is SCARY. :shock: Is that the old Guelph Reformatory where they filmed it this year?

Re: Canada's worst driver
At the end, I turned to my wife and proclaimed, "Yayy! I'm still the only CWD driver who is actually a GOOD driver". LOL. She just stared at me...... LMAO - I love the gramma. She does what a lot of us WISH we could do... Blow that stupid red light when no one is coming!!... Oh, and roll stop signs (as if they were yield signs). - The Asian lady can't drive, period. But strangely, I like her. - Ashley scares me! I admit I am not man enough for her! LOL. She could probably knock me down with her language alone! But still I'm drawn to her like a moth to a flame. - The 18-yr.old has serious issues and is a real danger to himself and others. His belief that jerking the wheel back and forth helps him safely straighten the car is nonsense. He needs real help understanding the physics of an automobile. - My "shtick" is not going to go over well this season (speeding) and I suspect Ken is going to suffer for it. Cam has already made a mistake. I'm 99.9% sure that Porsche did NOT have aluminum doors as he stated. I don't blame driving examiners for giving bad drivers a license. All NEW drivers suck, but we have to give them the benefit of the doubt that they will quickly improve, as the majority of drivers do. How could an examiner possibly predict how a driver will respond to experience. So far, the only one I would NOT get in a car with is Teagan (well.. and Emily, too). Nice to see a well-mannered 18-yr.old though.

Grandma is going to Win/Loose CWD hands down! I would'nt get in a car with any of them, this is the scariest lot so far! How the hell do anyone of them still have their license?

Golf carts
I can't find the category for this post so I'm posting it here.

2. If you are on private property are you allowed to carry 'opened' alcohol in your golf cart? I know golf…

fight stop sign
I got ticket for failing to stop at stop sign in Toronto. i heard that the police officer must see the stop line, if there is one, from where he was sitting.

Any help would be appreciated
Disobey Sign Section 182(2)
Hi OHTA forums,
I got pulled over for disobey the "No Heavy truck" sign, on the ticket it say Highway traffic act Section 182(2), but I think I didn't disobey the "No Heavy Truck" sign, because my truck was loaded with delivery items(which at the time it was under 5 tonnes), I didn't request for disclosure, the cop that pulled me over didn't even check my truck to see if it is over 5 tonnes.
So in…
Antique Radar Detector...
I picked up a brand new (old stock) Fuzzbuster a while ago at auction (wopping $5!!) and I want to mount it on the dash of my old GTO as a cool accessory when I show it at car shows. But I'm not sure if it's legal or not.
Here's my thoughts:
- It is early 70's technology (x-band) so it won't detect modern police radar. That's assuming no police force uses the old x-band frequency.
- Though it is…

I have been parking in the same spot for a week and nothing was said to me until I found the ticket Sunday morning. I looked at every other car parked where…
Ticketed in a slow trafic
Hello all,
I got one and what my surprise was when I found out it would cost me 4 d.p.
Later on, after thinking it over, well, at regular highway speed it can be really unsafe and dangerous.
No accident. Hwy 401.
Very lightly snowing with thin snow bands between the lanes. Slowly moving with speeds ranging between 10km/h and 20km/h.
I was aiming to change lanes from the left to the middle and then to…
GPS
Just bought my 1st GPS. Pretty decent little outfit. Have used it on a couple of short trips and got me to the destintation properly.

95km/h in E0 km/h zone - Fatal error??
I received a speeding ticket this past weekend, and although the officer was nice and gave my 6yo a coupon for a free slushy, I want to fight the ticket.
The officer wrote the offence as "95km/h in a posted E0 km/h zone" the "E" being what looks like a written backwards 3. Now I know and you can probably guess he intended to write an 8 but that is not what is there it is an incomplete 8 and…
Driving while under suspension
Quick run down of my situation: My liscence was suspended in early September for a DUI. Got caught driving last weekend on the 401.

She searched the entire car looking for weed - none was found. I was charged with driving while under suspension.

G2 Drive BAC Above Zero
Hello,
I wasn't quiet sure where this should go, so I am going to try here.
I am 25 years old, and I have had my G2 license since March 2010. I haven't upgraded to my full G only out of not really having the time nor cash to do it as of yet. In early February of this year I was pulled over by an OPP at a RIDE program and blew a 0.031 BAC. I was unaware at the time that I was supposed to have a BAC…
Improper left turn
I was involved in an accident last month. I was proceeding along a street with cars parked adjacent to the curb. Approaching an intersection I saw a large truck and trailer parked against the curb (no brake lights, or turn signals) so I presumed he was parked there. I approached the intersection, following the same path as all the other traffic, just to the right of the centre line. When I…
Summons To Witness
I have received 2 pieces of paper on the door of my home within the last week. Looks like I am being summons to witness for an accident where the other driver was at fault last year. (He hit me and was charged at the scene).

Thanks.

Crossing a closed road
Highway 21 is often closed in the winter. I and a lot of other people need to cross Highway 21 to get to work. Several people have told me that if a highway is closed, it's not only illegal to drive along the highway, but to cross it on any intersecting road, because while you cross it you're technically driving on a closed road.
Is this true?
HTA 144(18) RED LIGHT - FAIL TO STOP - Bicycle
