Re: passing over solid lines
Just to add a couple nuggets of info:
- a double-solid line is treated the same as a single (can still pass).
- I'll never trust the dashed lines painted on 2-lane highways by the MTO. In many cases, they have them dashed WAAAY to close to a hill, limiting your view of oncoming traffic. I'm not sure what criteria is used by the MTO when ...

I'm glad we're uncovering the REAL problem drivers out there; doctors, police officers, fire chiefs, etc., LOL. Turns out I'm in pretty good company, hehe.

Re: Stop Sign ticket question
Of course a passenger can be a witness. The JP may determine that they're not a "credible" witness though, so they may not help your case that much.

Re: Failure to Ensure Passenger Wearing Seat Belt for G2 Driver
bookm...I would have also charged each passenger for "consuming under age" and possibly contacted CAS pending the situation.
Ya know, maybe it's the immature underage drinkers that SHOULD have been charged, and an appreciative nod given to the responsible SOBER driver! Definitely not what happened here.

Somebody PLEASE help these people out! Just when HwyBear has me convinced cops are good, decent folks AFTERall, I read a story like this and get all bent out of shape again >[
I'm SURE a JP would have ruled in your favour. She did what is reasonable. She asked, and was told all were buckled up.

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)

Re: What's the proper procedure to pass a car on a 2 lane road?
I have a 2 lane area as well. We have more crashes on this hwy, compared to the 401 due to intersections and people thinking they need to go faster . The difference of 80-100km is 4 minutes between the 2 towns.....certainly does not make a much of a difference to justify the increase in speed.
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Far more drivers are between 90 ...

Re: 117 in a 90
Actually, I'd like to know why 99% of accidents aren't caused by the "newbs"!!And people wonder why young drivers have HIGH insurance rates and more likely to have a collision.

Re: What's the proper procedure to pass a car on a 2 lane road?
I know exactly what you mean. If I see a car approaching me from behind, I assume he will intend to pass me when the way is clear. If I "sense" he wants to pass (you can tell), I lean way to the right of my lane so my mirror won't cause a blind spot for him to see ahead. Just simply being courteous.

Re: Law on Speeding and Radar Textbook
I think I was giving them a difficult time trying to find a way to graduate me. I felt they wanted really bad drivers in the final 3, so when I recognized the "intervention" angle they were working, I went along with it. I wasn't there to make a mockery of their show. I told them from day one, if you think it'll improve viewers driving habits ...
