Re: Pet Peeves
Fail to signal
Follow too close
Fail to move RIGHT ![]()
Improper/misadjusted lighting (e.g., fog lights on a clear night, bad HID retrofits, BLUE lights)
Driving in rain/snow or at night with no taillights
Had a taxi driver tailgate me right in front of OPP general headquarters. WTF! Tapped my brakes and flipped him the bird, the cheeky bastard. ![]()
I've only ever seen one visibly impaired and dangerous driver on the roads, so drink driving doesn't make it on my list. Give me a few more numbers and it'll make it there.
Re: Pet Peeves
1. Impaired driving
2. Fail to give way/get out of the way of emergency vehicles
3. Fail to keep right except to pass
4. People talking on cellphone/texting while driving
5. Follow too close
Those are the top 5, but by no means the only pet peeves I have.

Re: Pet Peeves
1. Tailgating
2. Follow too close
3. Not Signaling
4. Tailgating!
5. Tailgating!!
Re: Pet Peeves
1. Tailgating
2. Slow drivers in the left lane, Fast drivers in the right
3. Texters
4. Slow merging
5. Lane cutting
Re: Pet Peeves
1- excessively slow drivers
2- fail to move right
3- distracted drivers
4- red light runners
5- agressive drivers
Re: Pet Peeves
-Tailgaiting
-No signal/cutting someone off
-Running stop signs on purpose!
-Missing road courtesy (ie. try to merge they speed up to not let you in)
-Strong lights

Re: Pet Peeves
1) Left-lane blockers
2) Last-minute signalers (if at all)
3) Slow-pokes causing tightly packed lines of cars behind
4) Cell phone users.
5) Drivers who fail to make clearly defined stops at 4-way stops (slow-roll then GO)
- I have occasionally been "that guy" guilty of some of these things and hate myself for it! ![]()
- In 30 years of driving, I have never been negatively affected by a speeder, aggressive driver, or an impaired driver. Will definitely revise my list when that happens.
Re: Pet Peeves
riding my bumper to make the car in front of me go faster
failure to signal
failure to get enough sleep
failure to realize they are not sitting in their living room but actually DRIVING
treating the HOV as their personal autobahn
Re: Pet Peeves
1,2,3,4,5 I hate people that don't know enough to gain hi-way speed to merge. Or at least go to the end of the lane befor merging.
Cheers

This is kind of like Domino's
Re: Pet Peeves
When I was in high school I toured the parliament buildings. They had these little green buses that shuttled MPs and bureaucrats between buildings. When the bus behind wanted to go, they would just bump the bus in front. Hilarious. Don't know if they still do it or if anyone claimed whiplash by now.
Re: Pet Peeves
1. Section 172.
2. Hands-free cellphone drivers: they are blissfully and utterly out of it.
3. Hand-held cellphone drivers: they're out of it, but have a vestigial understanding that they may be doing something wrong.
4. Cutters: those bastards who cruise past a line of cars obviously waiting their turn to go through a choke point, then muscle in at the head of the line.
5. Drivers going at the limit or below, hogging a passing lane.
Bonus. Those GO buses driven by maniacs on the QEW: has anybody seen one of those overspeeding, lane-hopping, tailgating things pulled over by the OPP? Ever?

Re: Pet Peeves
I got a New Pet Peeve!
Drivers who pull up beyond the white line and obstructing the view for other Drivers who want to make a Right Turn on a red light!
I notice this alot! Drivers are not stopping at or before the line, and then other drivers who want to make a right turn have to pull up even further just to see the traffic!
Re: Pet Peeves
1. Drivers driving slower than traffic in the left lane. Move to the right, darnit.
2. Drivers turning left long after their advanced green has expired. I really want the police to start enforcing the laws against running a red light in this case.
3. Drivers not stopping behind the line making turning left (when they are on the left) difficult.
4. Drivers on phones.

Hi!
This is my first time ever getting a ticket and I am completely frustrated and don't know what to do.

Hello,
I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction to track down various radar gun error codes.
Way back in March of this year I was stopped for speeding, 86kmh in a 60 Community Safety Zone, on Mayfield Rd., on the outskirts of Brampton. (Aloa school)
The cop was using hand held radar,…
Hi everyone,
My husband was driving my car and passed a school bus with flashing lights. He did not realize this until he was past the bus. The driver honked at him but there were no cops nearby and he didn't get pulled over. I believe the driver or witnesses reported this and we got issued a…

The key ruling on fighting a seatbelt ticket is R. v. Kanda, 2008 and an example of it's application is R. v. Gupta, 2008.
In Kanda, the court established that this offence is a strict liability charge. In other words, you can offer a defence of due diligence. In Kanda the defendant explained the…
