Yesterday I was driving on a two lane road, with one lane used partly as parking. I was stuck in the parking lane, and I couldn't leave as there was busy traffic all on my left. The roads were slick and icy (-15C weather), and I was gaining on a parked car in front of me. I knew that I had to get…
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…
Some very recent case law regarding cell phones.
The short synopsis is that briefly holding your cell phone is lawful. The accused in this matter was observed with her phone in her hand at a red light. She claimed to have simply just picked it up off the floor.
From the decision:
Given the…
There are always those tickets you get when you know you were doing something wrong, and yet your still mad you know you got caught. Well in this case getting this ticket almost made me sick to my stomach. I'm currently going back to school and am working a part time pizza delivery job to help…

Last week I went to my friend's house at 9.30 pm to drop off something and parked the car for 15 min. curbside and got a ticket for "parked facing the wrong way". This is a two way street in east-west direction in a residential area. The houses are on the south side of the street and parking is…
So I'm 19 no prior tickets and no tickets now.
Heading back from the airport at 5am after dropping a friend off.
the road I'm heading down has little to no light. I'm literally in the middle of the boonies. I notice a vehicle approaching me from behind. At this point I'm doing about 90 kph in a 80.

It happened last December. I was facing north in the middle of the intersection at Donmills and McNicoll waiting to make a left turn. There was a big white van on the other side of McNicoll facing south waiting to turn left too. When the light changed to amber, I checked and the road was clear,…
Is it really illegal to drive with bare feet
I keep being told that if you are found to be driving with bare feet, you could be fined etc... but nowhere can I find the actual rule anyway. Does anyone know if this is truly illegal - or perhaps used to be? In summer, sandals being what they are, its much safer, in my opinion to kick them off and drive with bare feet.... but then I hate anything on my feet in hot weather!
Can anyone tell me where to find this information?
thanks
Re: Is it really illegal to drive with bare feet
That's one of those myths that no one can find the corresponding law to. It's perfectly legal, although some driving schools recommend against it.
Me, I go against the grain and teach people to drive starting with bare feet. It allows them better control over the pedals and decreases the chance of mashing both pedals when they go for the brake. I drive barefoot on long trips over five hours.
Re: Is it really illegal to drive with bare feet
Update - it is illegal to ride a horse on the highway while barefoot if you are under 18.

Update: It's illegal to marry your sister, anywhere, no matter the age.
Re: Is it really illegal to drive with bare feet
haha its a law???
I guess what ever seems proper.
I can understand someone taking off shoes. If it was a woman with high heels or even me in the winter i hate driving with big boots on.
Hey guys i heard the OPP might get detectors to make sure you have shoes on! Fantino says it will only cost about 50 million dollars to by them. They are gonna give 5 demerit points, toe your car, and 7 day license suspension for not wearing the right footwear behind the wheel. It should save alot of lives!!!

Nah, let's just tax it like cigarettes instead (80% of the sale price), and boost our healthcare instead. Or build better roads. Or fund the military and the police. Or do all 3 in one swoop (there should be enough cash from that tax).

Why not? The gov't taxes everything else that feels good, why not tax such an awesome product as a burger? You'd eat them less and feel better each time you do it!

I agree on that...almost need a mortgage payment to be able to afford their burger!
