Apparently the street racer special starts tonight. Christina, the reporter who Tim and I were interviewed by told me it was to air on October 1st. Maybe tonight is a lead up. There was a couple of short advisories about it yesterday but I thought I'd wait to talk to Christina or at least Global but after several tries, I've had no luck. Whatever is on tonight, it comes at the end of the six pm news I think on Global. It seems there will be a different aspect each night so the show could last the entire week. When Christina interviewed us, she seemed pretty positive about what we were saying so maybe the issue is going to be treated fairly.

Tonight's (Wed.) episode demonstrated how TV producers can really destroy an important story. The focus tonight was on a women who lost her daughter to a street racer. There were two cars involved in a race (though it was reported that the other motorist was found not-guilty). The speeding car was estimated to be driving in excess of 170kph in a populated area. It looked to me like the speed limit would have been maybe 60kph max. This means the driver was in excess of 100kph OVER THE SPEED LIMIT! This type of criminal act has absolutely nothing to do with the concerns we have regarding Bill 207. To use this act of one nut-job to sway public opinion about the stunt laws is, IMO, professional misconduct at the very least. I despise GLOBAL news for running this story in the format they chose. The women in this story was truly a victim of the type of driver I thought the Bill was going to target: A truly dangerous driver who has lost the ability to think rationally; two cars racing in a competition in a populated area with a clear likelihood a tragedy will result. So how many of the 8,000 impound'ees so far have fit the scenario Global News has highlighted?? Any??? And the scary thing is, their loyal viewers will sit back in their easy-chairs, nodding their heads, "Yep, them TV people must know what they're talking about. After all, TV people wouldn't mislead us, right?" Sheeez...

Think you are referring to Bill 203. I have yet to watch it any of the episode, however if what you describe is part of it..........that is excellent. Reason being IF the news does a documentary on an issue, they should do just that and not from a biased anti-law hating perspective and not from a pro law hammer everyone perspective. The report should get views from both sides equally so that each individual can make their decisions with all the information available to them. I have my own opinion and a lot is based on what I see on a daily/weekly basis. Most do not realize what I see so often!

I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…
We are living in the age of digital video. HD 720p and 1080p CRYSTAL CLEAR Video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.
I had video evidence for a case but it was not accepted. I apparently did not submit it properly/ at the right time. Despite this I had my ticket…
According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
I might be moving from Manitoba to the Ottawa area.
My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
