While driving downtown today, the car I was following slowed to a stop for several seconds. I stopped behind him and noticed he was pointing out one of the stores to his passenger. He then went to go, but stopped again for more discussion with his passenger. I assumed he didn't realize he was blocking the lane of traffic so I assisted him with a "courtesy beep" of the horn (so short it was almost indistinguishable). Well, the driver took quite the offense to this and flew the one-finger salute at me out his window. So my HTA question is this... Since I was in my big super-cab 4X4 F150, is it legal to lock in the 4WD, mash the gas, and push his little POS Kia sideways down the street until it becomes crushed up against a concrete wall? (as long as I don't speed?) I was about to do just that, but thought I should run it by the experts here first.

Well, I would have just popped a wheelie and run him over (assuming your engine is ballsy enough to do it), but in any case, it would probably fall under stunting: Effing laws keep trying to ruin our fun :(

iii. driving a motor vehicle in a manner that indicates an intention to drive, without justification, as close as possible to another vehicle, pedestrian or fixed object on or near the highway

What kind of a man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.
I believe the former AG Michael Bryant decided that this was legal when the offending vehicle was a bike. It shouldn't be hard to argue that a Kia and bike are similiar enough to warrent the same treatment. :lol:

The considerate "city-driver" thing to do would have been to show him the errors of his way. If a physical beating could not be done then a simple; pull up beside him, scream obscenities at him and his family and peel away; should do it! :lol:

He had just returned from a vacation in Yellowstone National Park and hadn't readjusted his driving habits. :evil: Also don't forget throwing heavy, blunt objects (bricks, hammers) at/into the car. :shock:

And so are semi-full cups of timmies coffee/tea/hot chocolate. :oops: Really, I just lost my grip while giving an insane driver trying to drive me out of my small lane on Main St East in Hamilton the Birdie. My timmies cup and its contents landed on his windshield by accident. He slowed down. :twisted:

Pennies and spark plugs are old rider tricks (even though they're not really used these days).. Pennies will bounce over the hood and create lots of small dents.. A spark plug will in 95% of the cases render a windshield irreparable.

Note to self: Don't get Marquisse angry. :shock: Although, that was pretty funny. If I had witnessed it, I think I would have made a point of getting his attention and telling him what a nice windshield he had. Actually, you just explained something that I'd been wondering about. One of my former co-workers rides a Harley everywhere during the summer, and when he was showing us the bike he had a little bag of old spark plugs in a side pouch. :shock: He was asked about it: "Repair kit?" "Nope, that's for a****** drivers." Never realized what he meant until now. :shock:

pulled over leaving a survey in guelph. After arguing with the officer for about 10 minutes, he mentioned something being wrong with my truck. Told me to put on my emergency brake, and i did. Told me to put it in gear, and i did, truck did not move. Told me to hit the gas, and i did and the truck…
Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…
I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
So i got charged with Hand Held Device, just want to ask everyone if i could use this as my defence
It was midnight, I was dropping my fiance to pick up something on north bound Yonge st (near church) with my emergency lights on, Officer came and asked me to move along so i went up a few streets and…
